Saturday was a great day of just hanging out at the house and getting work done. We had planned to go to Johnson City so that I could buy a swimsuit, but I found a cheap one at TJ Maxx in Morristown on Friday and...well, I hate shopping...like HATE it...so we called off the shopping trip. The only problem with that? We had planned to meet my Tennessee BFF, Miss Suzi and her daughter Jamie, for pizza. So instead, I made homemade pizza with some awesome grilled artichoke hearts that my mom sends me from Illinois, and we had a backyard pizza picnic! Pizza and hanging out outside...it's a win-win!
The pizza crust recipe is one I stumbled on last week, but we've had it twice in the last week! I used to make a yeast-risen pizza crust all the time when I was home (before I found a job here in Tennessee), but that took like 2 hours! This only takes 20 minutes and is still really great! I see a lot of pizza in our future.
Lukie couldn't wait for the pizza to be done...obviously...
He's been doing that funny grin with his eyes all squinted up a lot lately. Knucklehead. And I look forward to years of him checking what's in the oven. That thing on the stovetop is a custard tart...he likes that almost as much as he likes pizza!
Sunday was another awesome day. We took Lukie to his first baseball game (just one of many, I'm sure)! We went to a 2:00 game of the Tennessee Smokies near Gatlinburg. Little buddy slept the whole way, was an angel while we were in Bass Pro Shop, the Chocolate Monkey chocolate store, and the stadium, and then slept the whole way home. It was sunny and breezy and beautiful the whole time.
We can't wait until the age when he gets excited about going to a baseball game and eating hotdogs!
And, as promised, here is a video of Mr. Go, as he is now called.
Great pictures! He is such a cutie!
