Amanda Plays Betty Crocker

Since Harry was sick we decided not to go to Memaw's in El Dorado. Chad was very very bummed, he was ready and eager to see Memaw and Aunt Annie but, it just wasn't meant to happen. We really miss them, and hope there will be a time soon we can get some QT!
Instead we spent a very productive weekend by turning our guest room into a play room. It was time, the basketball goal was not fitting with the living room decor! I am going to try to decorate the play room on a low budget. I am in the process of pulling out the ole' paint brushes, to be continued.
To make Chad feel better, I did some baking! I am a slave to the crock pot so, this is a special occasion. I make all his favorites; Paula Deen's Sweet Potato Bake, Grandmother Georgia's Rice Pilaf, Whole Hawg's pulled pork, and last but not least Chocolate Pecan Pie (pie not pictured, it was in the oven at the time); Oh and don't forget the sweet tea! It is true that the way to a man's heart is through his stomach, see the smiles! I took pictures just for fun, Chad thinks it is so so cheesy!
Harry entertained himself with the aluminium foil and pulling everything out of the cabinets and drawers! He is feeling much better! Besides having a sick baby, we have really enjoyed the quiet family time! Tis' the Season!
