One wild busy week is behind us, but I'm sure more are to come.. tis the season for frazzeling my nerves! We spent our nice quiet mellow thanksgiving with my inlaws. Nothing too big or huge, just good food and a relatively quiet day. I wont lie.. I ate and then napped on the couch like a big moo cow.. and it was good! LOL. We're not black friday people so we spent the next day at home just cleaning up and relaxing. Since we didnt make our own turkey there were no thanksgiving leftovers to battle over.. so it was just a normal day..with a ton of wind and rain. The weekend was actually pretty mellow too. Those of you that know me well know that mellow is my pace. I come with two little boys.. my idea of mellow is no smoke detectors going off or police men at my door because someone called 911! We baked more cheesecakes, and some homemade bread that well..lets just say we wont use that recipe again! Grandma Colleen and Papa Barr came over and we took Grandma on our little hike on the trail behind our house, and then got our fill of parktime at the spiderman park. We had a little bbq lastnight and had some friends over. The kids always have soo much fun together.. and I dont mean to brag but my husband does happen to be king of the grill.. so the fajitas were phenomenal. So much so our guests took a to-go plate! Good times! Todays a new day and a new week and almost a new month. We have a hot date today with some gingerbread men Trenton has special requested we make. I am really looking forward to that one. I'm apparently on a whole baking kick again. I know this always happens to me this time of year, but it is nice to focus on sweets and decadent things as opposed to soups, casseroles, and other various Amber creations for a change. The kids are totally loving seeing whats for dessert too. They are quite the little bakers. I love this part of life. Nothing fancy, nothing that cost an arm and a leg.. just me and my boys and quality time and making memories in our little kitchen.. this is what its really all about!
