the 2nd weekend

We made it to the 2nd weekend in Houston and what fun we had. We stayed with our friends Kirsten and Jeff and had a grand time.

On Friday night, we walked over to a new bar right by their place, called _____. Kirsten and Jeff are friends with the owner, so we got the goods on what to definitely try. We had a few bottles of wine and some huka! Shiner was even able to join us and had a good time as well!





Saturday rolled around and it was Halloween. We had a few invites to go to parties, but opted to stay in and away from the extra crazy that would be out that night. No worries b/c we had our own party at the Shipp house complete with AMAZING BBQ courtsey of Jeff. It was an all day process and well worth it. Here is our feast.

The spread: 2 racks of baby backs, 2 chickens, 1 pork shoulder....MMMMMM


No worries, we didn't just eat meat. We also had some baked beans, bread, corn bread, and mashed potatoes with bacon & cheddar. Like I said, a feast.

On Sunday, Mike and Jeff left to the bar to watch football, while Kirsten and I enjoyed a quiet Sunday afternoon. We thought they were going to be home earlier, but no, they stayed for both sets of games. At that point I decided we needed something and what better thing to ask for than SPRINKLES.
They needed help, but I'm ok with that, as they came home with the correct thing!


We didn't wait. We grabbed one immediately and enjoyed the wonderfulness that is a Sprinkles cupcake. MMMM


I will now admit that I had 2 or 3 more of those yummy cupcakes before we left on Tuesday.
