Finally...A New Post

Wow!  What a couple of weeks!  We had my FIL and BIL in town for Thanksgiving, which was extremely busy.  Of course, my husband just HAD to show his brother Mine Craft (his favorite obsession) on the computer.  This meant I was limited in my computer time, thus no new posts.

So, to catch you all up (unfortunately without pictures)...

The day before Thanksgiving was a very interesting day.  First of all I learned the valuable lesson that on a windy day one should NEVER leave one's hand on a car door unless it is closed.  My poor finger!  To go along with this lesson, I learned how to cut vegetables without using my right index finger (not an easy task).

The second thing that happened that day was my grandfather going in to the hospital with pneumonia.  This meant my mother was split between the hospital and her house for Thanksgiving.  To help out, my 4 year old and I headed over to her house early Thursday morning.  My son watched the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade for the first time (he tolerated it for about 30 minutes) and I helped my dad watch the dogs (theirs, my sister's and my grandfather's) and my niece while also prep dinner as much as I could.  Dinner was a smaller, quieter affair this year, but it was still yummy.

The next day was, of course, Black Friday.  I did NOT get up at midnight to hit up the stores.  I was not that desperate for anything.  I did go to K-Mart, Target, and JoAnn's for some of their deals, but my Christmas shopping was mostly confined to online and Costco this year.

That brings me up to today.  We are gonna start decorating for Christmas today, so expect some new posts coming on this experience.  YAY!
