Wishing You All

a happy and blessed Thanksgiving Day....

Leaving you for the day with this.

If time allows later tonite (and if I am not in a turkey tryptophan induced stupor ..), I'll try to post on all that happened so far this week.
Today so far has been very nice and calm. Both boys woke up in a very good place and have been actively playing together since 8 am this morning (which allowed ME to do a lot more cooking and prepping for the Thanksgiving feast that Salamander has ordered up). Their dad just took them to go do some outdoors type stuff for a couple of hours, so I'll make sure I have food ready by the time they get back.

The menu for today's feast?
Cranberry sauce - DONE
Turkey - IN THE OVEN
Cornbread Stuffing - ALL READY TO GO, WILL GO INTO THE OVEN FOR FINAL BAKING ONCE TURKEY IS DONE
Mashed Potatoes - ALL READY TO GO, WILL GO INTO THE OVEN FOR FINAL BAKING ONCE TURKEY IS DONE
Corn, peas - LEFT TO DO
Apple Pie - LEFT TO DO

Love, love, love....


UPDATED AT 9:45 PM.
BOYS HAD A REALLY GOOD DAY, which made for a nice, calm, quiet and relaxed day. There really was only one dip.. which was associated with the outdoors activities. Despite my caution that the boys were quite fatigued when they left the house and to not push the outdoors stuff too much, the boys' dad chose to not head my advise. Boys came home super tired and upset. But after a snack and watching a bit of a movie while I finished up on preparing the Thanksgiving feast, the boys bounced back. They both ate like PIGGIES. I updated the menu above with links to the recipes...
