Fun Weekend

We had a busy weekend, a lot of rain, but that didn't slow us down any. My sister came into town Saturday afternoon and she joined us for a graduation party that evening.

That evening Alisha and I made shirts. She bought a Silhouette Cameo machine, which allows you to design and cut vinyl to apply to shirts. It was super fun. And when the kids were asleep, we even made some homemade malts! It's been years since I've had one of those. And for the record, it was delicious!!

Here is a sample of some things we made! So fun. I just love to create, when time allows of course. And that little dress that Ally has over her head was $4 at Walmart. Add a cute little monogram and Viola!

Alisha snapped this pic. I think the kids were into it just as much as we were. They were giving us their designs left and right!

A coworker of Shawn gave him a Death Star waffle maker, so we had to make some! The kids loved it of course!

Ok, so at the graduation party we had Elote or Mexican corn. It was my first time to ever have it or hear of it for that matter and it was SO good! Like so good y'all. I had two big ears of corn at the party, I couldn't help it. So you grill corn on the cob, then you peel back the husks and apply the outside with mayo, salt, chili powder and parmesan cheese! It was so tasty that I had to relive the meal Sunday night. She also made homemade lemonade at the party and it was also super good. So good I have to share. So she used limes instead of lemons, the small ones.

Homemade Limeade (makes 1 gallon)
- juice of 5 small limes
- 2 cups of sugar
- top the gallon off with water

That's it. Super simple, yet so tasty. And it was not tart at all, like lemonade sometimes is.

On Monday we drove into Dallas to purchase some heat transfer vinyl. It is a warehouse district area, and similar to Harwin in Houston (if you're familiar with that area). Anyway, the store we wanted to go to, the mother load of vinyl was...CLOSED! So bummed. I guess they had a bunch of rain and needed to close the shop. It happens and I hope all is well with their families, but man were we looking forward to it. Next time! We ended up meeting up with Shawn for lunch, which doesn't happen much since he works so far away. That was definitely a blessing. We ended up finding another store with vinyl, so the trip wasn't all for naught.

This was Finn that evening. Poor guy was passed out on the kitchen floor. Long day!
