the perfect weekend

this was the kind of weekend you invasion when you think of fall. cooler weather, fall candles lit, and football on tv. 

friday: cody, evynn, and i spent the morning getting over a nasty cold. for cody and i we drank carrot/apple/kale/mustard green juices like they were going out of style. if they even are in style and alka seltzer. for little evynn it meant sleeping with a humidifier, constant bulb suction of the boogers and long naps. by friday night we all felt 90% better! we went to a friends house and enjoyed pizza and new friends. we came home to our in laws at our house which meant an early bed time for cody and I while they loved on evynn ;)

saturday morning I got up early and started prepping for my brunch with some of my college girlfriends. my friend ashley is always up for a party of some kind so she teamed up with me to make some tasty fall treats. the weather was perfect (even a little too warm!) so we set up outside. it was so much fun to celebrate the start of fall with friends and to catch up with our evolving lives ;)

i made these little breakfast cups by putting a small handful of frozen hash browns and cheese in the bottom of these baking cups, baking them for 15 min at 450, then cracking an egg in each, topping with bacon bits and parsley and cooking for another 15 minutes. 

homeade pumpkin spiced latte and water to drink. it was no starbucks PSL but yummy nonetheless! In the crockpot I combined 6 cups whole milk, 5 cups coffee, 1/2 cup pumpkin puree, 1/2 cup sugar, 1/2 cup vanilla extract, a dash of cinnamon and 3 cinnamon sticks. 

I also made the easiest pumpkin cinnamon rolls. I used 1 pkg of seamless crescent rolls, spread pumpkin butter all over, sprinkled brown sugar and cinnamon and rolled it up. cut them into inch slices and set in pan. I topped it with 1 pkg of cream cheese, 1/2 cup butter and a 1/4 cup sugar all mixed. (i made this x2 for the amount i wanted)

 ashley made pumpkin donuts and brought fruit and fruit dip, yum!

so fun!

saturday afternoon, cody, evynn and I lounged around and watched the Tech game which was so close! 

excuse the blurry picture but this was the last few minutes of the game, cody had to get up close and personal. what.a.game.

sunday: we went to church then to torches for lunch then home for naps and lounging and blogging!
