We had such a nice weekend, I feel like I should recap it. The best part was that the weather was just gorgeous. Unseasonably cool for a New Orleans May, the temperature stayed in the 70s most of the time. Nice!

Friday afternoon, I picked up the boys and headed to our neighborhood pub. Yeah, only in New Orleans. There were lots of kids there, drawing on the floor, having mocktails, and just goofing around.

After we left the pub, we stopped at the neighborhood pizza place and ate dinner outside. It was so relaxing! (But someone asked me if I was an artist when they saw the chalk all over my pants. Ha ha, yeah right!)

The boys went to bed late that night, but we had a nice time together as a family, so who cares?

Saturday was George’s birthday, so I made hockey pucks biscuits and eggs for breakfast. (Note to self: Don’t use whole-wheat mix for biscuits. Life’s too short.) The boys went to Granny & Grandpa’s for the night, and I spent the next several hours shopping for and baking the cake you saw in a previous post. That thing was hardcore, man. But worth it. I also got some fancy steaks from a local meat market to grill. Mmmm.

So after we stuffed ourselves with steak and potatoes and salad, we headed to the pub, cake in hand.

Sunday, we recovered for most of the day, and I went to get the boys in the afternoon. It was still beautiful outside, so I took them to a park to run around for a while. Afterwards, we dined on a gourmet meal at the place Oliver calls “Old McDonald had a farm.”

And that was about it. Just a nice, relaxing weekend.
