Weekend Fun

Saturday
Anne and Chris were lucky enough to get tickets for Saturday's Badger game, so I got to babysit W again :)


As always, he was adorable. Tired, though, since he only napped for an hour. What a little stinker!

Saturday evening, Anne and I made the Best Cake Ever. I believe she called it Texas Sheet Cake. It's super moist and delicious and bad for you (of course, everything that tastes good is bad for you).


It's just a little almondy tasting, and so so so good.

Sunday
Before taking me back to school on Sunday, Anne packed up a yummy treat bag to take with.


Most of the cake came back with me, along with some homemade salsa!


Homemade salsa! It's so good, I can't stop snacking. I made the mistake of sharing it with Jon last night after dinner, and now I'm worried he's going to try and steal it! As if it's not enough that he's after the cake!

Packing

I'll be moving back to campus in a mere three days. Naturally, this is both very exciting and dreadful. Where did the summer go?!! I have no idea, personally. It seems like it just zoomed by! Anyway, today was a preparation day for move in and life on campus. I went shopping with my mom and B to get the necessary school supplies and other miscellaneous things I needed, then started to organize all of the things that are coming with me.


Like my clothes. I think I have too many. That looks like a lot. How I manage to fit that all into a tiny dorm closet and dresser is probably bordering on miraculous.


Snacks are also very important. How else are you supposed to stay fueled during a late-night studying session the night before a test? Everything on campus is closed by 10.


Last but not least, a small selection of non-nook, non-required books. I mean, how am I expected to live without my beloved collection of Shakespeare? What if I need to prove to someone that it was not Hamlet, but Polonius, who uttered the well known, "to thine own self be true," quote? (Clueless, anyone?)

Heads up: these are great snacks

While I was babysitting W this weekend, we had snack time. Some dried fruit (strawberries ftw!), fresh blueberries, and a pack of these chocolate covered pretzel o's. The chocolate pretzels were great! I advise that everyone go out right now and buy a box:


As an added bonus, because they're ring shaped, you can eat them off of your fingertip for extra fun- a nice little trick I learned from W :)
