pancakes and a grasshopper

Thank goodness for my amazing husband.  He allowed me to lay around all day on Saturday.  I started feeling horrible on Friday night, and really am just now feeling better tonight. I really don't like being sick when the weather is so nice.  I am good today, except for the Cowboy game made me ill.  Gary and the kids played outside all day on Saturday.  I would take cat naps and then go outside to check on them. Today we went on a short walk, played outside, and had some special visitors.  Thankfully the weather was good both days, although the kids faces were still a bit to red for October.  Supposedly the weather is going to cool off this week.  I hope so. 

So here is our weekend in pictures:

Hayden made a new friend in the backyard.

He actually played with it for several hours, which is rare for Hayden.  He normally accidentally dismantles all insects he comes in contact with.

I bet you can hear her screams from where you are...he was chasing her with mr. grasshopper.

Mommy, have you seen my new friend?  I can't find him.

Oh, there he is!!

And after a short nap I headed back outside and found this...

But Gary didn't let Hayden play with this friend.  Creepy!!!

Our little explorer.

Sunday morning I awoke to Gary planning a fun breakfast for us.  Pancakes and bacon :)

These aren't just any pancakes...they are pumpkin pancakes.

I'll share the recipe in a post this week.  We only had 1 cup of Bisquick, so we had to make up a 1/2 recipe.  The pancakes turned out wonderful though.  They are all gone!!

KP and Auntie stopped by for a visit! 

It was so good to see my cousin...he lives far away, so anytime he can come see us we LOVE it!!  And it is always good to see Auntie.

HC, KP and LK!

And that is our weekend, except for tomorrow is still the weekend for us.  The kids don't have school, so I'm sure we will play outside all day long again.  I hope you had a great weekend!!
