In a great show of teamwork, Arielle, Nolan, and I finished all the stitching before Thanksgiving on the cloth.

I made a Chocolate Pecan pie for tomorrow and Arielle made one for tonight - her first pie - and it was quite good - everyone said so. She's our non-eater, but she enjoyed everyone elses' pleasure. Isn't that the sweetest smile? I'm so thankful for a daughter in the midst of all my rough and tumble boys - who I love dearly BTW!

Can you see what Mike has intercepted? She snagged the BIG container of Coolwhip from the serving table. ::snort:: She's never even seen this at home and somehow focused right in on it. When all laughed she told them "It's NOT funny."

Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket GREAT YOUNG MEN!

I was driving home yesterday with the little ones from some errand that had to be run, when I began to feel a bit blue that the girls weren't around for Thanksgiving. We were such an effortless team during holidays and such.

I got home and found that Jared and Jamin had cleaned the house. Jamin had also baked....

Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket The Turkey is IN the OVEN!

Yes, it is. I'm trying a Sue Gregg recipe - and Mike thinks it will be fine. I'm a bit skeptical and wondering if we'll have jerky by a.m. I do have a plan B. We have a "thing" at the base's chow hall tomorrow...I figure if I have turkey jerky in the a.m. I'll beg for some turkey from the chow hall before I come home to feed guests. ::snort::

Everyone is too busy to read about our days the past few days. I'll upload a bunch of photos.

Briefly - temps dropped 40* - yikes. I do think this wild weather stuff is a trigger for my migraines...yeah, read between the lines, I don't plan to whine. ::snort:: I saw the doc today and I'll share all that later - basically he thinks I'm old. They shouldn't allow 20 year olds to be doctors. ::snort::

We had a Thanksgiving Service and Pie Social tonight. I really enjoy these services....The younger boys had a wonderful and wild time AFTER the service.... They weren't alone - and I did right all the mishaps before I left. As I left a friend told me I "looked frazzled". I told her I ALWAYS look frazzled after spending time with a room full of young boys. They were running around the little room and knocking things over...but really there was no where else for all the boys to run off energy.....and it is acceptable to run off energy in this room rather than the main fellowship hall. ::snort::

The older two boys should be home shortly - so I'm going to upload some photos and call it a day!
