Tonight I sat at the table and ate dinner with my kids and hubby. I don't think I'll ever take that for granted again. The last month and a half have been a whirlwind of crazy around here and we all really missed eating together at the table, passing the food around and talking with each other. All the kids pitched in and helped set and clear the table and do the dishes as well.
Our home is back to just us now. I love my friends and I'm glad we could help the way we could. They are all glad to have their own spaces now and beds! I kinda miss the chaos but the silence this morning was nice. Despite all the problems and logistics issues I would do it again in a heartbeat.
The holidays are zooming in on me really really fast. I love the holidays. I am a craft and decorating nut. I go overboard to make between Oct 1st and Jan 1st a really special time for all of us. I'm kinda behind on that but catching up fast. I talked with the kids about the Thank giving menu tonight. Some of the Halloween decor is up. Hailey's Halloween birthday is in progress. Tonight I realized that I get to make Christmas stocking for may sister and Alec. Every time I think of them coming I melt with joy, sometimes I cry with happiness.
This week is dedicated to sewing, baking and crafting. I have a ton of sewing projects to get going and a lot of craft/decorating things to do. On Friday is JT birthday and the kids and I will be making him lasagna and cake for his day. We'll do a few other things but I can't mention them in case he reads this LOL. I want to make him really happy this birthday. He has put up with so much stress and invasion recently he deserves it.
Life is really good and I hope I never take that for granted again.
