Thanksgiving The Day After Thanksgiving

We celebrated Thanksgiving a little backwards this year. While everyone in the country was eating turkey and watching football, my kids and I went to the park and hung out around the house. Trent had to work, so we decided to postpone the annual feast until Friday. So our Thanksgiving the day after Thanksgiving was wonderful! Luke made festive place mats for our table and Emry helped set the dishes out. I was about 15 minutes from serving up the bird when Trent arrived home and wouldn't you know it...the kids started acting up, something fierce! I felt bad, poor Trent had just gotten home and the kids are naughty. After we got all that sorted out, we had a very nice dinner, no complaints!

Earlier in the week, we had a play date with some friends in the neighborhood. We made pumpkin chocolate chip cookies...none made it home, we read a story about a Tom Turkey and we made these mayflower wall hangings. All in all it was nice to have the kids out of school for the week.

Isn't it interesting that one has more waves...and the other additional seabirds and a slight tilt!! Interesting how the kids perceive things as they grow older.

The Cronicles of Tapa...the cat.

OK Cat lovers of the world explain this....we're going on vacation and wanted to board our cat, but they wouldn't take her unles...
