Turkey Holiday Update...
Thursday...up early... clean, cook a bit, wash dishes, clean, cook a bit, wash dishes...and then the little red button popped up.
A Thankful moment... Thankful for moms, dads/in-law, brothers, sisters/in-law, nieces, nephews, my kids, spouse, dogs, cats and friends. Thankful for Meat, tatoes-sweet and not, rolls and butter, pies and coffee. Thankful for my mom and sis who wash dishes and my dad who cleans up the table. Thankful for my spouse who is willing to take on a big meal. Thankful for the magic that makes it all come together and super Thankful for my comfy bed and newly repaired soft blankie!! Thankful I got to visit Sarah at Odyssey house for t-day and I am so Thankful for buildings that get knocked down and the chance to build new ones :)...
Friday...Grandma Grimbles b-day is the beginning of November and every year I give her the same gift... A clean house and the holiday decor up... I do enjoy it and she does also. So off to Ogden with spouse and girls in tow. Whirlwind through making messes, cleaning them up, this here, that there, vaccum, dust and "voila" (10 hrs later) its Christmas!!
Again Thankful for my bed and newly repaired blankie.
Saturday... Home...relax... HaHaHa!!! The girls stayed with Granny Grimble so there is no way I was not going to take advantage of a quiet day at home and get MY holiday decor up! In the basement by 6 hauling out the massive excess of holiday SH*# (its mine I can call it that!) I have a 'new' (meaning new to me) tree from my mom (un-lit (see Doriens post)) so I spent 2 hours playing with lights but did get them just right, and another OK WAY TO MANY hours decorating. Somehow, despite the work I do love a clean and festive house!!
I had to have this job done by 5pm which meant no rest just go go go!!
Saturday evening.... Laura gave Andre and I her tickets to see Into the Woods at Hale, I thought that sitting for 3 hours would feel great but my butt really hurt....HOWEVER...the show was just incredible, loved it loved it loved it and so did Andre. Such a great show and so well done with so many good messages and awesome songs!
Again, Thankful for my bed and newly repaired soft blankie...not home until 11 OUCH!!
Sunday...thats today...a day of rest... YES!!! We did goto Ogden and retreive the girls, Wash had made a huge meal and all the Washingtons were there, good fun, good food and a good end to a long holiday weekend.

wow! you were busy...
me and grace saw Into The Woods, i wanted to leave after intermission (insert embarrassed face here) the 2nd half was a little too whacked for me....

Sounds like you had a busy but crazy holiday weekend. So what does it cost to get my house cleaned and decorated? I only have 1 1/2 boxes - and no tree, and no lights. I shouldn't complain, but I do. Glad you enjoyed the show - it's a favorite of mine (even the slightly creepy 2nd act)... I'm happy you two went, I really cant stay up til' 11!!!
