Wyatt liked his new "bubblesh" a lot and I love that they can't spill over. Genius. Quick side note- Wyatt says most of his "s" sounds as "sh" which is adorable. Anyhow, they played outside a lot that day with the two little boys that were visiting their grandparents, our next door neighbors. The guys had ham for dinner and I had potatoes and salad because I think ham is disgusting. I have never made a ham for Easter before but Rob really wanted it and the boys like it so I caved. It maybe wasn't my favorite Easter ever, but my guys all had a great time which is really all I care about.
This past week we were working really hard to finish up some small projects around the house and clean everything up since we had friends coming over for dinner on Saturday night. And since these friends had never been to our house before, we really wanted to make sure it looked good. We smoked a turkey breast in our smoker, barbecued a sirloin cap roast/steak thing (with this rub) and had these delicious and creamy mashed potatoes. We have discovered that the sirloin cap makes a good replacement for those times when we can't find any tri tip. I make pretty good mashed potatoes but these are so good for a special occasion- they get an extra bonus because you can make them ahead and then they go in the oven. I really made an effort this time to pick out a menu that limited the amount of time I needed to spend in the kitchen once our guests arrived. It was so much more fun for me this way and I'll remember to do that from now on. Rob made this apple pie for dessert which is outstanding. We all had a good night with lots of delicious food and great conversation.
All our hard work cleaning the house will make housecleaning this weekend much easier for my parents' arrival on Saturday. I'm really excited to see them and looking forward to their visit.
