fridays in the woods.

The excitement for Friday starts on Tuesday in our house.

When we are in town, Friday nights begin with sweatpants and slippers.

You already want to join us, right?

The rest is a flurry of homemade pizza, couch snuggling, movie watching and occasional adult beverages. Then it usually ends with one of us asleep on the couch. Guess who.

Every so often (last night), dessert (*&#^# brownies*) also stops in to say hello.

Heres how we do it:

We start with the fixins’.

Then have an epic snack. And, do a snack dance (Mr. Woods).

Start the pie. Dough and crushed tomatoes. Bake.

Finish the pie. Cheese and toppings. Bake again.

Try not to have your eyes roll back into your head. We had trouble with this step.

Choose a movie (Moneyball. If you have’t seen it, stop what you’re doing) from my very merry Christmas present from Mr. Woods (AppleTV has changed our lives. Not an overstatement).

And the rest requires no work.

Well, I guess thats if waking up a cranky Mrs. Woods who fell asleep on the leather couch and is sweating and absolutely must clean the kitchen before she gets in bed doesn’t count as work.

*These happened too fast for pictures.
