Saturday, John and I woke up about 8:45am on our own.... I feel like an old person! If you guys know John and I- we DO NOT wake up that early on our own! But behold, no alarm went off. haha. We decided that since State didnt play until 6 that night that we should go ahead and go to the beach for a few hours! By the time we ate and did our morning routine, we left around 10:00. I dont think that John and I have ever made it to the beach that early without guests here. haha.
The beach was pretty much empty and it was so calm and quiet! It was HOT though. Sitting on the beach was very relaxing and we had not been there in a LONG time. I always wondered how people that lived in Miami didnt make it to the beach much, but now I guess I know. I forgot how much I love the beach. We definitely are going to make more of an effort to go more often again. Even if it's just for a few hours, it's a nice get away. Anyway, we stayed until about 12:30/1pm and headed back home. It was the perfect amount of time for us- and just enough to get a little bit of color! YAY! haha
When I got home I took Carter running with me- it was TOO hot, so it was a bad idea. Not going during the day again. ugh. Afterwards, I started cooking our food for game day! :D Our menu consisted of the rest of that yummy dip I made last time, twice baked potatoes (since I never made them last time), homemade pizza rolls (YUM), and brats. We didnt make the brats until way later, but I went ahead and cut the onion and pepper up, so I didnt have to worry about it later.
Our food for the day, minus the brats!
Then John and I watched football and played cornhole for the rest of the evening! We ended up pulling one of the other TVs into the living room with us, so we could watch our game and the UM game at the same time. It was AWESOME! haha. We won our game too! YAY! So Saturday was an awesome day :D
Sunday, we got up early again- on our own. What is happening?! lol I actually enjoy being up that early. I have always said that I am not a morning person, but I like the morning. I just dont like waking up. That's what I hate. lol. But since I woke up without an alarm and felt rested- it was awesome! We hung out for a little while and then went to run an errand. We had gotten some hoodies from Finish Line (they were 2 for $40 online)! and 3 of them didnt fit us, so we had to go all the way to Dolphin Mall (30 minutes away) to exchange them. Of course they dont have NC State ones down here, so they are in the mail. We had each ordered and NC State and a UM one. :D
After that we had a doggie play date with one of my co-workers, Jenni. Her and her husband, Joel, have a golden retriever. Their dog, Kirby, is about 2 months younger than Carter. They havnt ever played together, so we were excited! We went to the fenced-in field near Mahoney and let them run. Kirby hasnt played with many dogs yet, so they are trying to socialize him some. Carter and Kirby got along great! Carter was trying to teach Kirby how to play and by the end of the play date, he was getting it :D Kirby is really nice and sweet, and a very calm natured dog. I am really glad they get along so well! Carter needs a friend close to home that has his energy level! I forgot to get a picture :( But I will for sure next time!
After the play date, Carter was exhausted and passed out. lol. John and I hung out and watched more football. The rest of the evening was spent relaxing, John painting cornhole, and me scrapbooking :D
Overall, it was a great weekend! I wish they could be longer though! haha :D
Here are the recipes that I used:
Twice Baked Potatoes
For step 4- I didnt use butter or cream. I just used milk, cheddar cheese, sour cream, and the potatoes. I also added garlic salt, chives, paprika, and seasoning salt. It was DELICIOUS!
Home Made Pizza Rolls
I dont know what made me think to make these, but I had the idea last week and I looked up a recipe. I have the stuff to make home made dough, but that just takes forever so I got some refridgerated dough this time. I only used 1 can because I figured John and I didnt need more than that. I rolled it the long way instead of the short way, and it still made A LOT of rolls. I also used mozzerella and parmesan cheese. I HIGHLY recommend lightly greasing the pan. I forgot this and they all stuck to the pan. lol- again DELICIOUS! :D
Before
After
YUM! :D
