Whew!

This weekend flew by! Benjamin had his two year well child check on Friday morning and  after appointment the Blessings and I hung out at Wal-Mart while my husband had a project to take care of, then we went out for lunch because we were all famished. Then, a quick trip into Joanne's for me before heading home. Once we returned home I spent some time on the couch with my wonderful husband and I didn't have to cook dinner since we had a late lunch, every one grabbed something as they became hungry. Later on I made the peanut butter part of peanut butter balls and the peppermint pattie part of peppermint patties.
Saturday my wonderful husband and the older Blessings went Christmas shopping for "my" gifts so I was home alone with the little fella. Once he went down for his nap I started dipping peanut butter balls. Once the big kids and my wonderful husband came home I started making dinner which was chicken fried moose, mashed potatoes and gravy, corn and biscuits. Once the kitchen was cleaned up from dinner I finished dipping peanut butter balls and dipped the peppermint patties. Then another kitchen clean up while my wonderful husband and the Blessings kept Benjamin busy and they picked up around the house and my husband vacuumed the entire house. I love that man! Then all the Sunday clothes were picked out and Benjamin bathed. I then went to bed while everyone wrapped my presents! I got up and packed away all the chocolate covered goodies and turned out the lights and went to sleep.
In between church services, Elisabeth baked chocolate chip cookies with nuts for a couple at church and I made more orange fudge and plain ole fudge. While Elisabeth finished baking cookies and Levi and Judith spent time searching the globe with Google Earth, I slipped off to the couch for a short nap while Benjamin was napping.
Now, everyone else is in bed and I am right behind them all.
Tomorrow? NO SCHOOL and laundry! AND, we will make the gingerbread for our annual gingerbread house. Pray for me, we decided on a replica of our house, so I have to make the patterns myself this year!
