Kitchen Construction 10 and Pre-Thanksgiving



This is what happened to my kitchen floor yesterday:





Today, with the girls out of school I utilized them to help keep their brother busy and I put up the outside Christmas lights. Usually I don't put up the lights until it has snowed and the chore is a cold pain in the neck. This year I decided to get the task done early while the weather was nice. Plus, this way, I can enjoy the beautiful lights (one of my favorite parts of Christmas) all month! Don't worry...I won't turn them on until after Thanksgiving. ;)

The kids and I also went to lunch with Kent. A fun little thing we try to do whenever we have the girls on a day off from school. We ate at Fazoli's, one of the girls' favorite places.

Since we won't have the girls tomorrow for Thanksgiving I decided to make a little mini Thanksgiving dinner. I made a Jennie-O turkey roast, mashed potatoes, yams, green beans with mushroom soup and we even had an apple crumble pie for dessert (I think I am missing something else we ate but I just can't seem to remember what it was...). It was fun and I know it will help when I start missing the girls tomorrow.

Throughout the day the girls and I texted my niece Nikki. I really think I like texting WAY too much. It might not have been the best decision buying me a new phone with unlimited texting... :) But on the upside, I am learning lots of fun things about my niece Nikki and nephew Mitchell (my other new texting buddy). I actually feel closer to them than I have in awhile. Maybe texting in moderation, like most things, won't be such a bad thing.

I am looking forward to seeing my family tomorrow and eating lots of tasty things!
