What a wonderful weekend I had. Saturday I got to go and make pumpkin rolls. One of the highlights of my year. I really look forward to it all year long. It is such fun and the fellowship with the other women, all of whom are my dearest friends, is just the best. It is such a blessing to have christian friends who you can talk about anything with. When I say anything I mean ANYTHING. We talked about football, politics, babies, and a million other things. We laughed,mostly at my mistakes, and cried together. All of this while making the best pumpkin rolls in the county. lol I can not wait until my girls are old enough to be in the kitchen more and we can fellowship like that together. That is one of my favorite parts of Thanksgiving, cooking with my mom and aunt and sister and grandma and talking. You have the best conversations in the kitchen.

Then  after I got home I rested just a little with hubby and then we had some friends over. We talked and ate some of that wonderful pumpkin roll. We played a game and then Amanda showed me how to use my sewing machine. I am so excited to use it now. My first project is to make matching Christmas Jumpers for my girls. Then I want to work on matching aprons for me and Lilly. She loves to help me cook. Her favorite thing is to crack the eggs so if you get a little piece of eggshell in any of my cooking it is not my fault. I try my best to get all of it out. lol

Then on Sunday I had nursery duty. I had my darling Olivia and three other babies. I was standing there at one point with Olivia playing, one barely walking and one crawling at my feet and another one in my arms crying and I just felt so at peace. It was like my heart was at home in that environment. Even though I get frustrated and overwhelmed at times I know at home is where I am supposed to be. With my children.

I guess what I am trying to say is that after this weekend I feel renewed. It started with my ladies retreat and continued on into this weekend. I even went to bed at 8 last night. I feel so renewed and rejuvinated that I am ready to clean my house and get it ready to put out the Christmas decorations. Bring it on Holidays I will be ready for you.
