My weekend was not was expected, I stayed at home with my kids minus the oldest (she went to a family reunion up north) I listened to everyone around me talk about what fun they were planning on having 4th of July weekend. Then on Sunday I was privy to hearing all about what great and fun-filled family things that they had and how it was great, and fun was had by all. My husband had to work on the 4th of July, he has had to work almost every holiday for the past few years. We don't have a 2nd car, so it was not like I could take all of my kids somewhere for the day to have fun, my parents were in the process of draining their pool out so we wouldn't have been able to go swimming over there. Then to top it all off after my husband came home from work and we could finally do something as a family, I stepped wrong on some toy or something in my son's room (which is a mess) and hurt my newly not broken or anything anymore ankle and couldn't even go to see the fireworks with all my family. I did make some star marshmallows that were dipped in chocolate and sprinkles, then put on a stick for my little minions, I would love to show a picture of them (I was very proud) but before I was able to get a picture my kids ate them! I suppose that tells me that they liked them.
So the next day I decided to make some bagel's, per my daughters request and they turned out looking terrible. They tasted great still, but looked bad.
My kids were very nervous to eat them at first, but then realizing that mommy NEVER makes bad tasting food, they ate them just fine and continued to tell me how good and normal they tasted. After that I was sort of in a baking mood, as much as my ankle would allow and made some pretzel rolls, and some french bread rolls for dinner the next night. All of which only lasted 2 days in my house. Then on Sunday night my oldest came home and all was right with the world again!
All in all my weekend wasn't bad, it just what I had hoped it would be, it made for a loud house and crazy house full of kids wondering what special thing we were going to do for the 4th, and a mommy with a horrible headache, short on patience and very irritable. Nothing out of the ordinary for us. Now I have some baby stuff to finish making so I can send it out, and a cross stitch to finish, dinner to make, dishes to wash and clothes to wash, fold and put away. Thank goodness everyone is home to help!
