Weekend: A Shower + A Date

Foodblog-4786
Our weekend started out pretty chill – a sleeping baby and a bottle of wine.

Foodblog-4785

Along with a couple of salads made from leftovers

Foodblog-4783

Then I watched the premier of Survivor in bed – yayyyyy for one of my favorite shows! (And booooo to the end of Downton for the year)

On Saturday I was up early getting ready to host a baby shower for one of my good friends!!

Foodblog-4798

Over 25 people filled my house with joy!

Foodblog-4788

And these cupcakes made by our friend Jessica were IN-credible!

Foodblog-4795

After digesting that buttercream and Mazen’s naptime we took him down to the park to play for a bit.

Foodblog-

Foodblog--2

Followed by a hair cut!!

Foodblog-164437

This was our second attempt. Try #1 resulted in massive screaming and and lots of “all done! all done! all dones!” Luckily our try #2 (inside, which required a good vacuum) was much easier thanks to a banana and Curious George.

Foodblog-164424

His hair looks SO much better now! Nice and neat.

Foodblog-4811

So serious.

Foodblog-4806

Saturday night we had our friend Elinor over for a date night with Mazen. She’s one of his closet friends, and he can say her name!

Foodblog-4823

Toddler dishes! {They did not eat all those veggies…and they did eat lots more pizza!}

Foodblog-4819

Alice, Al and Baby Walter came too!

Foodblog-4834Foodblog-4831

We made two yummy pizzas and a salad

Foodblog-4821

Foodblog-4825

And Alice brought over some Chocolate Guinness Cake with extra ganache!! Omg…

Foodblog-4827

On Sunday there was some of this…

Foodblog-4861

And this…

Foodblog-091037

And lots of this!!! Soccer is back in swing for the spring!!

Foodblog-105621

And lots of laundry and weekly meal prep. And Karen came home from a cross country skiing trip in Montana. Fun weekend!

    Incredible! I forgot how busy it gets when there are things to do AND toddlers to take care of.

    In a world without little kids (all grown up) and grandkids (they haven’t arrived), busy is shopping, a trip to the beauty salon for a cut, lunch without kids throwing food, watching a few movies, and maybe even taking a nap.

    Mazen’s haircut looks great! So cute. We’ve discovered that the iPad is an essential tool for Baguette’s haircuts, too.

    Wine, friends, pizza, cake, and sports…sounds like the recipe for a perfect weekend! That photo of Mazen and Elinor eating together at the table is too precious, definitely something to keep and look back on when they’re older!

    Cute haircut! I’ve always liked my boys’ hair short but now that they’re teens they fight me on it a bit. Luckily they go to a private school that requires hair “above then ear”. I win 😉

    Mazen is such a cutie pie.

    That pizza looks amazing! And a sleeping baby and a bottle of wine is maybe the best date (and dangerous…. (thinks of more crying babies)). 🙂

    Firstly, those cupcakes from the shower are gorgeous! Secondly, kudos to you for trying to cut your son’s hair…I never would have even tried it! This my son’s experience at the hairdresser’s for the first time: http://www.bitesforbabies.com/blog/what-not-to-say-to-a-mom/

    The picture of Mazen and his date is SO CUTE.

    Downton Abbey finale was really disappointing. They need to come back with a bang next season or people will give up! Such a snorefest this season.

    Hi Kath!
    Love this post. I can’t believe how freakin’ adorable Mazen is growing up to be. He seems to be so well mannered sitting at the table like a big boy!

    Last month, I threw my cousin a bridal shower brunch for 30 people and we had about quadruple the amount of food! We had a few leftovers, but I’m curious, is that all you served for 25 people?

    Love the cupcakes, so sweet.
