Phew, the holiday weekend sure came and went quickly. We went and stayed a couple nights in the Beartooths of Red Lodge with our friends Morgan and Joel, took the kids to Red Lodge for some Red Lodge Cafe breakfast (yum, just as good as I remembered) and a trip to the candy emporium. An EXPENSIVE trip to the candy store, Mommy didn't do a good job of keeping Miss Elora from grabbing a 50 pound bag of candy, and I felt like it would be in slightly poor taste to ask the candy store lady to sort the candy back into their original containers.
So that was Friday night through Sunday morning, then we went to a barbeque at our pal Darin's house Sunday after getting home and cleaned up (my dirty feet alone required two passes with a suds-filled loofah. Sunday night was spent comforting Mr. Crabby Patties (aka Colter B) because he either was having teeth issues or growing pains and was a very unhappy little camper.
Then, Monday morning came fast upon us. I got up, immediately through my Clone of a Cinnabon ingredients in the bread machine, and started the laundry quest that becomes my focus every weekend. We had our friend Danielle over for brunch, along with her boyfriend Paul, who I really enjoyed meeting. We enjoyed a giant pot of coffee, cinnamon rolls, and fantasy football draft picks before they had to depart. After brunch we spent the remainder of the day doing nothing. By "doing nothing" I mean Thad and the kids vegged out and I kept doing laundry, did all the dishes, made dinner and homemade bread to go with dinner. It was super productive and the perfect way to end my 4 day weekend.
Here are pictures to enjoy!

Oh yes, I love me some PBR
Thad mocking me
This had my inner Beavis (or Butthead) queasy with delight
The morning splendor of the Beartooths
It was frosty on the mountain
Two stinkers get some morning snuggles
About to get into trouble
BUSTED!
Everyone playing
Nothing better than banging hammers on rocks.... future in-mate?
Check out my stick
FAKER
Hilarity ensues
Even more hilarity
Had a great time, saw a lot of good friends and got a lot of little domestic tasks completed. I love weekends that feel like they go down in history!

"Future inmate?" = comedic gold.
