Thanksgiving

Micah had a Thanksgiving lunch at his school.  His class sang a silly turkey song to the tune of "I'm a little teacup" .

See what Micah would choose for Thanksgiving dinner?

 Thanksgiving started with a Beau melt down.  I bought the boys new shoes on Wednesday.  I didn't realize that Micah's shoes were light-up ones and Beau's were not (rookie mistake).  Micah put his on and started stomping around to light them up.  When I tried to put Beaus on he realized that his didn't light up and started to run after Micah to take them off his feet. After crying, screaming and lots of chasing, I decided that it wasn't worth the daily battle and I needed to go back to the store, take the "un-light up" ones back, and buy Beau some light up shoes.  The only store open at 9:00 on Thanksgiving was Wal-mart.  Beau wouldn't even put on his old ones to go into the store.  Luckily, there was one pair of light up shoes in his size.  We bought them and put on his feet.  He loves them.

We met friends at the park for our annual rugby game and then ate dinner with the Knackstedts.  My goal in life is to see how long I can go with out ever cooking a Thanksgiving dinner.

I love Thanksgiving.  I think because its so close to my birthday and it starts off the Christmas season.  I have so much to be thankful for.  My boys, Nathan, a job, a house, my health and good health for my family, great friends, my knowledge that I'm a daughter of God and that I have a Heavenly Father who loves me and I proud of me.
