friday night, i was ready to crash (after staying up so late the night before with these cakes)
but curtis wanted to invite his friend over & the kids were begging us to have a campfire - so we did.....tony (curtis' BFF) & his wife came by to join us & we of course, roasted s'mores
saturday, my brother hosted a cook-out at his house - a house warming of sorts.....i took this simple little cake (marble)

we had an absolutely amazing time! there was a great turnout & TONS of yummy food!
katie (my brother's wife) did such a great job at setting up yard games & activities for the kids! i think that everyone that attended joined in the fun! :0)
the men played horseshoes
curtis & i tried our hand at this game (not sure what it's called, but u throw the balls on a string & try to loop them around the rungs???).....we kicked the butts of the couple that played us too! ;0)
grandpa helped entertain the kiddos - they love this!
here's how matthew & grandpa play this game - while seated ~lol~
isn't he the cutest little bugger ever?!
(matthew, my brother's son - he'll be 2 in just a few weeks)

and of course, i brought the fixins' for my brother to make me his infamous bloody mary's.....mmmm, good! ;0)
sunday, after church, nana made a trip to the Green Valley Book Fair.....then, she swung by afterwards with gifts! :0)
she got jaden a cool book on dinosaurs (he's pointing to his absolute fav dino - the Spinosaurus)....and corinn got a set of Disney Princess books that are similar to the Where's Waldo? books - they come with a marker & magnifying glass, and you have to hunt for the different characters from the princess stories....then u can wipe them clean & start again :0)
gabby got a book on butterflies & she immediately went to work, using it!
she got out her butterfly net & bug catcher....she caught 2 butterflies & 1 moth within minutes & we had fun identifying them
great gifts nana! thx!!! :0)
then we headed over to my sister's house for some trampoline fun - the kids beg me to take them there like every day!
then travis (kelly's hubby) had to show off a little ;0)

these 2 are growing up right before our eyes! my nephew bryan, is 2 months younger than corinn & they both start pre-k on thursday (and are in the same class!)....my sister & i both are refusing to accept the fact that they're no longer our babies!!!
kelly gave me a pretty rose out of her yard....i'm so glamorous! lol - NOT!
i hope u all enjoyed your weekend too!
today feels like monday to me, since i took yesterday off work.....i was already scheduled off for the weekend beach trip that we canceled, so i just took the day anyway and got a lot of little things done - and took some time to regroup - i needed that!

You have me so totally hooked on campfires! I can't wait to have my own yard to have them in! Plus after seeing that pic with the flower in your hair...that's it...I need to cut my hair off! You look too cute! (((hugs)))
I was at the dollar store yesterday and I totally thought of you! They had s'mores campfire kits. They came with long dowels, and of course all the s'more ingredients. I thought, how cool, Sharon could use one of those.
Have you ever tried a Peanut Butter Cup S'more? TO DIE FOR!!!
Glad you had a nice weekend :)
