Fun Weekend

My sister and the twins came down on Thursday and spent the entire weekend with us! Normally, our visits are centered around a holiday and we are all busy visiting with family, cooking, and celebrating. So it was awesome to have a fun, relaxed weekend with just us "girls." We scrapped, watched movies, and hung out! Sally has quite the movie collection. We watched the movie Enchanted on Saturday. She has been raving about it and said Sean even loved it. Our taste in movies is not the same. I was seriously traumatized by this movie and will never watch it again! I don't know where my fear has come from lately but I am deathly afraid of cockroaches! Well, if you have seen the movie we were watching the part where the cartoon character wakes up in New York City in a filthy apartment. She sings her tune for the birds and animals to come help. Being that it is New York City all the rats and roaches crawl out and come help her tidy the apartment! It was disgusting! We were sitting on the couch with all the lights off and I suddenly saw something crawl towards me! I freaked out! I really panicked and screamed! I jumped up and ran out of the room it was the biggest "roach" I had ever seen! Sally walked towards it on the couch and I was so scared I literally thought I was going to throw up! She picked it up and laughed because it was a tiny little plastic penguin that the kids had been playing with earlier! I'm seriously traumatized!

I have been working on recipe cards this month to add to my special recipe collection and Sally and I decided to make mom's Strawberry Pretzel Dessert while she was here. We used to have this dessert at Thanksgiving and I don't think I've had it since high school! It was yummy! We also made Monkey Bread for the kids! We pigged out all weekend! Gabi loved having her cousins to play with! She was really sad to see them go as am I but I'm definitely ready to get back to a normal routine and stop eating so much! Well, here are the recipes if you'd like to give them a try! The Strawberry Dessert really is heavenly!

I'm the same way with spiders, though. We all have something we're scared of, whether it be rational or not! :)
