This is the third weekend that we've put our tent up in the living room for Tad and the boys to sleep in. They LOVE it. Here's all three kids playing in it.
We had a great Thanksgiving. We had lunch with Tad's family and Shonda (Tad's sister) brought an African family with her. They are a part of a group of refugees, and they don't speak hardly any English. It made for a very multicultural lunch. Click here if you want to hear more about this group of refugees. For supper we went to my Grandmother's house. Everyone was a little somber without my grandfather being there, but we all helped out with the cooking and we had a great time there. Today we went to MamaSue's (my dad's parents) and had lunch. Needless to say we will be eating light for the next week!!
Our family had a huge scare this week. My 5-year old niece, Ellie Anna, who lives in Pensacola, had an abscessed tooth and had to have an emergency surgery. Thankfully she is doing ok now. Tad now feels the need to brush his teeth at various times throughout the day:) It's 5:50pm and he just brushed again.
We're all really tired now from the week, but I'm so thankful to belong to such big, loving families.
I have two new recipes I may try out this weekend. One is for apple/cranberry cake and one is for sour-dough bread. Maybe I can make them both fat-free! ha.
After Tad's persistence (and technical capabilities) I now have a blog. I really enjoy reading other people's blogs, but I'm not sure if what I write will be anything that someone else would enjoy. My life, as a homemaker and mom, is not as glamorous as, say, as rock star. But I do have hilarious and very adventurous kids, and they, along with my nutty husband, make my life very fun. So I'm going to write and if no one else looks, then at least my husband can have something to read. And Tad takes so many pictures of the kids (almost daily) that I am sure to have lots of those posted as well. Hope someone out there enjoys....
Tad is trying to show me how to use this thing...
