Food, Family, Games and Good Times
My whole family hasn't been together for Thanksgiving in many years so it was a treat to all be together. Here are the boys anxiously waiting to dig in.
Mimi turned the ping-pong table into a giant feast where we could all eat together.
Can you tell they were happy we were all together?
Then it was game time. Beth and I put together some minute to win it games. The kids love these! They always prove to be a big hit.
I ran a half about a week ago and it was great. Here I am at the back of the pack.
Ready....set....go
the weather was perfect and the route was amazing
as you can see I was really running with the pack. It's all about pacing my friends. One Pace Grace!
Hello Mile 13...I am very happy to see you!
Later that day and after a tylenol we went thrifting. Something about this "super equator hair dryer" just interested me.
The girls found this big Micky Mouse but he ended up being pretty pricey.
This bird was so funny, it would let you just walk right up to him. I think the kids could have touched it if they wanted to. Owen was convinced the bird was elderly and was about to pass away. Then I had this whole conversation in my head about elderly birds and it made me sad. He stayed on our feeder for hours. We came home after heading out and the kids ran to the feeder to see if he was still there. We were very concerned about this little fellow. No sign of him in the last few days.
These were a few of the gifts the kids scored at our Goodwill Christmas exchange. "Respect the Stripes".... so funny.
One day I looked out our window and saw a little girl walking her dog. It was about 12:00 and I immediately thought....homeschooler!! Go get her!!" I went outside and flagged her down.... I know she thought I was crazy but we are desperate for friends. I asked her if she was a homeschooler and she said "yes." I said, "we are too and I have a girl your age that would love a friend, so feel free to ring our doorbell anytime if you want to play!" Well, weeks went by and we never heard from her. The kids thought for sure I must of scared her off. We never even saw her again. But then this past Sunday afternoon the doorbell rang!! and the little girl said to Meg...."want to play?" and guess what they have gotten together everyday sense then!! I don't know why I am surprised Meg has been praying for a friend.
We are getting ready to pipe in some Christmas Parades. Should be fun!
