Welcome Monday.
The weekend went by quickly while we soaked up all the cool, beautiful weather outside. I don't know about you but when it's nice outside that's where I want to be. It doesn't matter what we do, I just want to be able to enjoy the cool, breezy air.
Also, Happy October!
I almost forgot we entered it a couple days ago. September sped by for me but then again it seems that way for every month. Like how did we get through this year so quickly?! You know?
Friday..................................................
Night. A friend of mine had a birthday. With a party. At a restaurant. Which means I got to wear something more grown up than my usual flip flops.
Not too high. These are about my speed right now. lol

I made this for lunch. It's Panera Bread's Fuji Apple salad that I absolutely love. We don't have a PB close to where we live so I was over the moon when I found the dressing at Target. Thank you, Target! You're the best!
The salad consists of:
Romaine lettuce
slices of red onion
tomato wedges
Gorgonzola cheese
crisp apple chips
toasted pecans
I couldn't find crisp apple chips, so I made my own.
Here's what I did:
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Preheat oven to 200 degrees. Cut a whole apple in thin slices. Lay in a single layer on prepared baking sheet. Bake for 1 hour. Turn slices over and bake an additional 30-60 minutes. It takes some time for the apple slices to dry out. Cool and enjoy. Store leftover chips in an airtight container.
Late afternoon, we took the boys downtown for a walk and a run in front of the State Capitol building.
I love how this photo captures Favre running. It's beautiful to me.

Sunday............................
The boys and I had a spontaneous picnic at the playground here at home.
Football was on our TV most of the day.
Way to go Saints! They won yesterday but don't ask me anything else about the game. I have no clue!
Sporting my new Saints shirt. Yeah, my husband is pretty happy about this.
He has wanted me to get one for a while and now I have one.
He's funny and I love him.
I also made a pumpkin bundt cake. It's pretty yummy. I'll share the recipe with you tomorrow.
So, that was our weekend. I'd love to know what you did this weekend.
Leave a comment and let me know.
You're like me with Football, except I rarely even watch the games so I can't usually tell you who won, lol! Seems like you guys had a nice weekend. Love all this pictures. We were pretty lazy this weekend but did enjoy a nice family walk on Saturday...loving this weather! And we went to see Lion King 3D last night. Lincoln loved it and it brought back memories of watching it with my siblings and rewinding our favorite parts over and over. We didn't do alot but we were together and it was a nice weekend!
