Happy Thanksgiving!!
We've made it through another year (almost)! I've been prepping the boys for a few weeks that Thanksgiving is coming and we're having a big dinner with Great Gram and Big Papa and they are to behave and be kind. I think all of my coaching has paid off! They were absolutely fabulous. I've dreamt up all scenarios from them sleeping through dinner (which would not have been the worst) to being absolutely evil minions with many tears and pushing and beating the everliving crap out of each other. But alas, they were lovely little bahved mini people and I could not be more proud of them. There were no major accidents (aside from Zach taking a bite out of his tongue when he fell up the stairs) and they generally got along. It was really all I could hope for... The worst thing that happened was the self cleaning timer on my 1970's stove decided to make this awful, terrible, horrible, no good, very bad noise. But thankfully my dear husband helped with that situation and took the stove apart and disconnected it! Hooray... but, and you know there's always a but... we found a bunch of mouse poop... Not awesome, but fixable and cleanable. Just hoping my little puppy of a child doesn't mysteriously find any mouse droppings and think they're chocolate sprinkles.... The meal was successful, great company and great conversation. How many people do you know that can actually say they enjoyed an entire day with their families. I cooked the entire meal by myself and felt SO accomplished. Photos of the spread are coming soon. Or follow me on instagram - jenmiller23.
On to bigger and better things, I suppose. Tomorrow is Black Friday and although I basically buy everything online- and I CLEARLY don't need any more yarn, I really want to go to Michael's and pick up some yarn for a sweater for Luke (and some for a sweater for myself.) I know it'll take me a while, but he's been asking me to make him a green sweater for months and I've been putting it off but 30% off my entire purchase is calling my name. Yarn is literally like crack to me. I'm addicted. I can't get enough. I constantly have to buy some and if there's a sale- FORGET IT- I'm like a kid in the toy aisle!
But on a side note, isn't it amazing how yarn can go from just a ball of string to an actual usuable/wearable item with just a little bit of time and effort. I started making a hat last night (finished it this morning) and like a magician, with a few waves of a magic stick it became something! I'd post photos, but my everything is acting up. I'll post some in a few days once I clear up the issues.
For now, that's all. Have a lovely relaxing weekend- be safe out there!
