Today at church we had auxiliary leaders from our local stake come to talk to us for ward conference. It was THE most chaotic morning EVER.
It snowed like the dickens the night before. Dusty emailed the Young Men's president just to let him know that he might not make it to the leadership session. Good thing cause when we got up in the morning the hi-way report was yellow. ARGH. So after a discussion on whether we should even go we decided to get to the hi-way and see what it was like. So up out of bed we all got. We got dressed in our fab. duds and were out the door. OH wait. THE DOG. Where is the dog?? Gone. She RAN AWAY. Great. Dusty went to look for her. I decided to make more sauce for the salad and the meatballs that I made to take to the pot luck (oh I love pot luck.... seriously but that's another topic). So after more sauce and a found dog (1/2 hour later) we left. The hi-ways weren't too bad (for Dusty's driving). We got to Church and we were only 5 minutes late! Unload the truck. I take the girls and Dusty takes the crock pot full of meatballs (182 of them). I get the girls in and turn around just to see Dusty's feet over his head. Yup. A whole crock pot of meat balls over the head, down the white shirt, and all over the parking lot. Too Dusty's credit he did save the crock pot BUT he may have broken his arm (he won't go in to get it looked at... he says it's fine!). I got out to see if he's okay. I know not to mention the meatball on his shoulder. I say, "You can sit in the truck if you want.... there might be a coat..... do you want to go home...." He is grumbly and not happy.... and if I smelled like he did walking into a church full of hungry people I wouldn't of been happy either. I went to primary (only 15 minutes late) just in time to hear the kids sing a round of 'The Shepherd's Carol'. I'm glad I went to church today. The kids were amazing. I'm not exaggerating. They were amazing. The Sharing time lesson in Primary was also REALLY well done. I didn't want to be anywhere else but where I was.
What started out as a sketchy day turned out really lovely. I had a wonderful time at the pot luck and Dusty and I had a good chuckle about the meatballs on the way home. AND to top it all off I will be enjoying fresh buns for dinner and chocolate cake.
Life really can't get better than that.

Ahahahaha! While driving out of the parking lot, we saw all the meatballs on the ground and were wondering what the heck happened!
You had to go and mention the chocolate cake again...I had actually forgotten about PW and her cake.
PS You forgot to mention your RELIEF at not being picked to lead one of the groups for the round. That was such a great face!
