I love this time of year! Our weather kinda starts to change which for us means that it's like in the 70's and 80's as opposed to the 90's and 100's, the kids are settling into their sports and I'm finally settling into the schedule that follows. This year, I think I've mentioned, is crazy! Lots going on and not enough cars or "me" to go around. Doug has taken on a new venture and is coaching a team that practices about 80 minutes away and most weekends around here are crazier than the weekdays.
This year our Thanksgiving will be hosted at our house as usual with our amazing cook...aka "Gammie" with her sidekick aka "me"! I'm hoping to try some new things along with the traditional things we have come to know and love. The Gorgonzola Broccoli dish is making my mouth water just thinking about it right now. And no Thanksgiving vacation would be complete without the hockey tournament for us to be running back and forth to which will be Ryan's this year. Unfortunately this year, Mark and Stacie and the kids will not be within driving distance to come over for the fun since moving to Florida. They will be missed!
As I type this post, I'm listening to AJ play XBox with some friends via "Live", Ali and her friend prep for a bonfire party tonight, and Ryan and Jack arguing about who knows what which always ends with Jack telling Ryan to "go away"...I'm tuning it all out to think of the things that I am thankful for this year. Here are my top 10 things that I am thankful for in no particular order:
#1: Less frequent ER visits
#2: Magic Erasers
#3: Car Insurance
#4: Red Wine
#5: Halloween candy
#6: my BFF because she gets an earful on a daily basis and comes back for more
#7: OxyClean and Bleach Pen (I love you both equally)
#8: my DVR for making my life so much more organized
#9: Target
#10: my family...if it weren't for all of you, I would have nothing to do but sit on the couch all day and eat ice cream
What are your top 10 and I hope we are one of them! Happy Thanksgiving! XOXO
