But, now is a good time.
Yesterday I worked 8-4p.m. Right after work I drove over to Gina and Dave's where we were going to celebrate Thanksgiving together. Dan and Mindi drove together. Then Daniel and Laina came an hour or so after that.
While we were waiting for Daniel and Laina to arrive, the kids played and we finished getting food ready.
Crazy thing happened - we were getting stuff ready to put on the table and I asked Dan which pan the potatoes were in. He looked at me with a dumbfounded expression and said none of them. He didn't make potatoes. I thought he was kidding, so kept asking which pan they were in. Finally, I realized he wasn't joking, he really had forgotten to make the mashed potatoes.
The girls and I all agreed, you can't have Thanksgiving dinner without mashed potatoes. So Dave and Gina pulled out the bag they had just purchased and we decided to quick cut them into small chunks and put them in the microwave. We all pitched in cutting them up. At this point Daniel and Laina had arrived and Daniel jumped in and helped cut them up. It probably took us another 1/2 hour to get them cooked and mashed. We decided we didn't care if they were lumpy or not, we had potatoes! Let's get on with the meal!
Here are some of us:
Levi when I first arrived, watching a movie

You know this guy!
Sorry this one is so dark, my annoying, tempermental flash!

Around the table
After a scrumptious meal, we cleared the table,
sat around and let things settle a bit, then broke out the games.
We played Mad Gab first. That is the funniest game! We had a lot of laughs with that one. Then Gina and Mindi put kids down....
Gideon ready for bed
and we put in the Family Feud DVD
We split into two teams and had a blast playing that one.
We wrapped that up and were just talking when Nate had a meltdown. It was like his little body just couldn't take it anymore and he started crying and didn't stop til Mindi got everything loaded, kids packed in and headed home!
As I said at the beginning, we got home around midnight. We slept in til 9:30 or 10:00. We never sleep that late! It felt really good!
Dan worked awhile on the entryway. I sewed the shower curtain. I had started it the other day but didn't finish it. So, today, I sewed on it off and on.
Mindi brought Jazmyn over around noon. We looked to see movie times and took her to the 4:00 showing of Tangled. It is the story of Rapunzel - with a bit of a twist to it. It was a cute movie.
Mindi came back to get her around 7:45.
Dan doing some more mudding today.
Here is the shower curtain the other day when there were still pins in it!
Can't find the pictures I took tonight after I completed it....
I'm almost done with curtains for the window that use the same fabric. Maybe I can finish those over the weekend and hang them. Trim isn't at the window though, maybe I can bribe Dan into getting that up too.
Now to prepare for BLACK FRIDAY!
