Points for the husband

I never thought my husband would cancel a hunting trip. It is his passion and nothing is more important. I really felt that way until yesterday. He could tell I just wasn't at my best. I would have been fine for one day, but three with the kids was a little much. I was feeling tired and overwhelmed, but didn't want him to know it. I'm relieved things worked out the way they did. So, I now know that family is more important than hunting. At least this weekend...

Since we've changed our plans for the weekend, Pete invited some friends over for dinner tomorrow night. I love to entertain and cook. We will be making some things from the new cookbook, Back to Basics. Pete found a striped bass (we have the fish in the freezer) recipe for the main dish and I want to try out the apple tart for dessert. I'll take pictures.

As far as Saturday goes, Pete is out hunting right now and the kids are soaking up the cartoons this morning. I'm still in my PJ's and I baked a miniature carrot cake this morning with Kendall's baking pans. I had the ingredients and couldn't resist. I just need to make the cream cheese frosting next. I think later on I'll take the kids to Fun Unleashed so they can run around. I'll take my book, Confessions of a Shopaholic, and hopefully finish it. It is so entertaining!

Have a good Saturday!
