We are getting ready for turkey day, the kids are off for 4 days. Today we are going to organize our plans for table settings, meal planning and I am going to bake a pumpkin roll. We may go on a nature walk if the weather co-operates and see how many different leaves we can find. Dave is off at noon today, so we will go shopping too-lots of sales. I need to pull the turkey out this am-it is qn almost 30 lb bird from the hutterites, nice turkeys they have. I will brine it Sat night after we get back from the wine and cheese.
Mimi and Josh are helping right now choose napkin rings and favours to put at the place settings. I think we have decided on the centrepieces for the tables. I love doing up holiday tables, so much fun. We are having either 10 or 16, I won't have the numbers until today or tommorrow. Next is planning for our Halloween party, I have been buying things and planning for that for awhile too-I can't wait! I really enjoy doing that every year, it is a blast for the kids. Noni is still snoozing this am, we all stayed up late(except JR!) to have nachos and watch a show as a treat for the long weekend.
On a side I am pleased with the levels of homework mimsters has been bringing home this week, she is still breezing through it, but it is requiring more thought processes. The teacher had indicated she would be tailoring the work according to individual ability, which is really good. Josh is also back to his normal self-it appears his two year molars are pushing up. He has been a beast with all of his teeth. I have also discovered severe exhaustion seems to go along with pms now for me. Looking back I have figured it out. What a pain.
I need to quit stalling over my coffee and get to work-the weekend awaits!
