Good Samaritan Saturday and Making Cinnamon Rolls

Have ya’ll had a good weekend?  We have!  Been a good weekend to just be at home in our pj’s!  Jeff has been gone on a hunting trip since early Thursday morning.  So, it has been pretty quiet  and not much going on around here.  Hayden and I have had a lot of fun together!  Praise the Lord for the rain! 

We took Mia (Cindy-Jen’s Momma) to the airport Saturday, but Hayden and I made a quick dash to Good Samaritan beforehand.  We did find a few things.  Some crafting wire, some textured wallpaper (for a craft project), a book about bullets and reloading for Jeff (I know, crazy I picked that up.  I just saw it on the shelf and grabbed it because I knew he would love it.), and a few things for Hayden. 

We got these Waffle Blocks.  The box says made in 1984.  They look brand new and Hayden loves them!  He loves anything that hooks together!

They make the perfect barn for his tractor.

We also picked up this bag of wooden animals. Or so I thought that is what it was.  Come to find out, they actually are a puzzle!  I had so much fun putting this together!  :-)

I knew Hayden would love them for this very reason!

I also picked up these stacking cups.  Just because I suppose.  Not that we really needed them.  I spent $3 total.

Tonight I got a wild hair and decided to make Pioneer Woman Cinnamon Rolls.  They are pretty easy to make, but make a big ole’ mess!  

Hayden was loving it and was such a great helper!  He rolled the dough.  Slapped the dough. Poured 5 tablespoons of cinnamon in one spot.  Well, he added those last two steps.

Mmm. Mmm.  Mmm.  Look at all that butter.

Pure deliciousness!  If you feel like consuming a lot of calories at once, give them a try!  Or, make some to give to your neighbors.  They will be so grateful!

Don't tell people about Good Samaritan! You need to change the name to local thrift store. I can't wait to go this week!
