Weekend Recap

I had a fairly relaxing three day weekend!  I should be happier and more refreshed on this Monday morning, but to be honest I am kind of dragging.  Sigh.  Maybe remembering the weekend will help energize me.  Worth a try anyway, right?

Friday was kind of boring.  I had a doctor's appointment in the morning and the afternoon was pretty much uneventful.  We stayed in Friday evening and watched Revenge on Netflix.  Do you watch that show?  It is pretty darn good.

Saturday morning the husband and I enjoyed coffee on the deck.  The fall flowers I planted make the deck so inviting.  I love the mums in this cool pot.

They are in full bloom now and look amazing.

These blue eyed rivieras are so pretty.

I have never grown them before, but I am so happy I have given them a try.  They make me smile.

After coffee the husband and I met the sister-in-law and niece and nephew at the St. Luke's pumpkin patch.

Precious.

Gotta love cute kiddos sitting on pumpkins.

The husband found me this pumpkin.

It's teeny, I love it.  I joked that it was my car decoration, then took a picture of it and then realized I really need to dust my car.

Saturday also resulted in the acquiring of these Halloween critters.

Have I mentioned I love Pier 1?

Sunday the husband smoked a pork shoulder and made, yes made, jalapeno cheese buns.

The result...pretty amazing pulled pork sandwiches.

Now if the Texans had won last night that would have been awesome.  Oh, well 5-1 is still pretty darn great!

How was your weekend?

Sammy's was lazy.

Weekend Recap

Let's start with birthdays!!  Today is my sis-in-law's birthday and Friday we went and had a great girl's dinner at Crappito's.  Since I am terrible, I have no picture of the SIL and me, so here is one from last year's birthday celebration.

We were this cute this year too.

The weather in Houston was pretty great over the weekend so on Friday we dined outside on this great patio.  I love the food and the patio at Crappito's.

It was a great evening!  Happy Birthday Dawn!  Love you lots!!

Saturday morning I went to the Houston Garden Center and bought plants for fall planting.  I wish my backseat always looked this good!

The car is no longer this pretty, but the deck looks great!

Mums, pansies and blue eyed rivieras.

More pansies.

I got this awesome jack-o-latern squash at my grocery store at the end of October last year for 4 bucks!  I love him.

I finally got my Texas stars hung.  I was happy.

This bougainvillea was on sale since it is not really a fall plant.  I hope it does okay, I think it is super pretty.

We had the most awesome cool-ish weather this weekend.  I wish it would stick around longer.  Sammy had a great weekend playing in the yard.  Sunday night she was worn out.

And for your entertainment at my expense...have you seen this new magazine ad for the new UN-scented oil of olay lotion?

Yep, I scratched and sniffed before reading the ad.  FAIL.  I laughed out loud though and took a picture to add to the blog, so I guess this is a successful advertisement!

Happy Monday!!  Did you have a nice weekend?
