Weekend Recap

Jon and I has a pretty low key weekend.  Lets start off with Friday

I had a valentines craft night with Ainara.  We had a lot of fun!  

We found cute heart shaped frames at Michael's for $1 and we painted them.  I also found a really cute valentines day gift idea on pinterest, so i decided to  make that for Jon too.  

Our craft table ready for the fun! 

More craft supplies 

I decided to go with the Oregon Ducks theme with Jon's picture frame, so he can put it in his man cave or even put it on his desk at work.  It was pretty hard painting that "O" but I think it turned out pretty well :)

Working on our "52 reasons why i love you" deck of cards.

This deck of crafts was really fun and easy to make! All you need is:

• deck of cards
• single hole punch
• construction paper (used to write our reasons and to glue onto each card)
• Card stock to used on the front and back of the deck 
• Glue stick
• Binder rings (I found them at Office max)

I'm excited to give this to Jon on Tuesday.  He's going to love it!.  We didn't get a chance to finish the deck of cards or to even start on our valentines day cards, so ill be back tomorrow night to show you our finished products :)  I love our Friday night craft nights.  It such a great start to the weekend!

Jon and I were up early on Saturday and got our taxes done and then went out to breakfast.  Then we headed to the mall and we found my valentines day outfit, yay! :)  I love shopping with Jon, he's always a big help!
We decided to head to the pizza bank for dinner, and i got an Italian soda, so yummy!!! The service sucked BUT the food and my drink were good! 

Yummy!

My love!

We ended the night with a slumber party in the living room and "The Goonies" Great way to end our day!

Today has been very low key, we gave Miley a bath and did house chores.  I also made some yummy Oreo cake pops.  Melu from Only a Flight Away posted about them earlier this week so i decided to try it out!  

This is what i used:

• Chocolate candy melts
• Pack of Oreo's (I didn't used the whole pack)
• Popsicle sticks
• cream cheese (about 2 spoonfuls)
• Food processor

Put the cookies in a ziplock then crush them as much as you can

This is what it looked like after the crushing

In the food processor, grind until it looks like....

This! And then add a spoonful of cream cheese and grind some more, until its all mixed today. 

Put them in a bowl and start making little balls.  Mine come out to be 12 Oreo pops

I put them on a cookie sheet linked with wax paper and then put in the freezer for 20 mins. 

Once the pops were ready, i melted the chocolate. 

I heated them in the microwave for about 1:00, stirred and then put them in again for about :30 seconds.  Once the chocolate was melted, i dipped the Popsicle stick in chocolate and then pushed them into the Oreo pop.  Then i dipped them each in the chocolate and decorated and then placed them onto a form base to cool and dry. 

my final product! The turned out so cute and yummy!
