Messes Are Fun!!

We've had a big week. Luckily, my Mom saved the day and took time off from her Spring Break to come up and help us out. I've been really spoiled because as soon as she left my sister Hayley and her family came up to help us do the finish work in our basement; so I've had constant entertainment and help for almost a week, and I'm a bit scared about facing life and Motherhood alone once again tomorrow. It's been so nice to be able to say "can you watch Boston for just a minute while I do this or that?" Thursday night my Mom even stayed home alone with Boss after we put him to bed so we could sneak out and look at paint and tile at Home Depot. We got ice cream after and it almost felt like a date. We'll take any escape we can get.
I've been called as an Activities Day leader in our ward, which should be fun and interesting at the same time. I've hardly ever had a "real" calling of any sort and I'm not the biggest spiritual giant in the world so I just hope I can teach the girls anything and I hope they like me. Anyway, I had to make a bunch of cookies for our Recognition night and Boston thought it was great when I let him make a couple of his own. I'm not a Mom who's afraid of a little mess, so I gave him his own piece of dough, a cutting board, rolling pin, and some cookie cutters and he soon discovered what we all know.. that eating the cookie dough is way better than making cookies!
Thanks again to all of my family for sacrificing and helping us out. I love almost nothing more than just talking to my Mom and Sister, just hanging out and being girls. It's the best. Also thanks to Shawn for making the sweetest cabinet for our bathroom downstairs and for all your help!!
