a good ol' sleepover {a fantastic time}

As I mentioned in a while back, I had the pleasure of having a sleepover with my two favorite young ladies.  This girls rock! They are so full of energy and so much fun to be around.  I am truly blessed to have them (and their parents) in my life.  Now that I am not their nanny, I like to have little dates with them so I can keep up on their busy lives and see their shining faces.  :-) One thing we love to do is have sleepovers - their parents really enjoy the time too! I often will just have one of them, but it was time to up the game and really make it a party with the both of them.

Let me break it down.

After getting off work, I jetted over to their house. I opened the door to them standing there ready, rolling bags packed and all.  They were soooo excited (I was too).  We were informed to take the brown bag - stapled shut - labeled "Super Secret Sleepover Surprise!" and open it when we got home. oh- the anticipation!

We continued on with our sleepover routine. We hit up Jamjuree Thai for dinner and followed it up with the regular trip to 15th Video. The girls picked out Oliver and Company. I tried steering them to other movies but they wouldn't budge - oh well!

We finally made it to my apartment. Now this is where the party gets started!

Weekend Brunch: Breakfast Sausage Patties and Sweet Potato Hash Browns

Happy Friday!
Last weekend was a fabulous one. Here in the great Pacific Northwest we were blessed with very spring like weather- a high of 59 on Saturday! To kick off the weekend, I had the pleasure of have two fine gentlemen for over for breakfast.

 Guest #1: my little (by age, not by height) brother, Adam.

Guest #2: His friend and roommate (again "little" by age, not by height), Sean.


The sunny spread:
Grass-fed beef breakfast patties, sweet potato hash browns,
egg (as you wish), apple slices and...coffee, of course!

This was the first time I had ever made my own breakfast sausage, I must say, they were pretty darn tasty. I think I may have to make breakfast for dinner very soon! As a matter of fact, I will invite my favorite up-and-coming chefs, Molly (6) and Abby (3), to help me out.  (Don't you worry, I will post photos.)

I followed this meal up with a fabulous (hilly) 50 mile bike ride!
These are just two of the glorious views I had returning to Seattle on the bike.

Here is to another great weekend...I just don't think we will have as nice of weather. Oh well!
