2 cans eagle brand. Take off paper. Cover cans in water and boil 3 hrs. Turn every 30 mins. Let cool then spread in extra serving graham cracker crust. Top with cool whip
I also usually just put cool whip around the edges like whip cream and then cover the rest of it with mini chocolate chips. It's a caramel pie.
bliz1712 he would probably know, but I think I might hide it for awhile and take it back out in a few months so that it feels new again. He really is loving playdoh lately. I ordered his advent calendar because I couldn't resist...
OMG! I doesn't even know this was a thing! I gave up on a Liam-friendly advent calendar this year when all I could find were lego ones that he's not ready for yet. I'm so ordering this!
I saw while looking at the playdoh available at toys r us. Tommy wanted to look and tell me what he wanted. I checked and Amazon had it for the same price. $15 Here is what you get when you open the doors
I'm still trying to figure out what's going on for Thanksgiving this year. I have no idea if my SIL is hosting or what. She gets so easily offended by me that I'm afraid to ask her if she's hosting or if she would like me to do it. She's big into cooking and had made it clear that no one in my family cooks to her standards. However, since she and my brother and her parents are leaving on the Friday after for vacation I would assume she doesn't want to cook. Right? It's completely stupid that I have to worry about how to ask her this, right?

cookiesandwine I ended up sending my brother a text after I posted. I decided it was stupid that I felt uncomfortable asking so just went for it. They are, in fact, hosting thanksgiving. Crazy. So I'm guessing she'll ask me to bring a side. Now to decide what side to make!
I've been contemplating hosting breakfast Christmas morning but I have so many conflicting emotions. Christmas Eve dinner is at my paternal grandparents' house, Christmas evening dinner is my mom's side extended family (usually my mom hosts but we're all in the same town as the other aunts and uncles too, so no travel), MIL hosts her extended family for lunch and my mom does Christmas morning breakfast. I'd looooove to do breakfast and just have our parents over instead of going to their houses, this would mean we could be home all day until about 4:00! But we're still living in my grandma's old house temporarily and 1) it's generally just controlled chaos with too much stuff in not enough space, plus tiny kitchen and 2) it just feels weird having Christmas in my grandma's house without her. We put a tree up last year but didn't even put ornaments on because mine are in storage and I don't want to get out my grandma's. It's just too weird and makes me too sad. I have to do a tree this year though for likes first Christmas. We'll see how many ornaments get hung
We lived in my grandparents house for two years. It was strange having Christmas at their house without them. I put the tree where they always had theirs. I also found a few decorations that I remembered from when I was a kid. It was sad to see them out but also made me feel like they were there with us in spirit. I know they would have loved to watch my girls open gifts Christmas morning.

Normally we have Thanksgiving at my parents with just my sister and her family. This year I think it is going to change since my grandma is sick and this is likely her last thanksgiving. Normally my aunt and uncle host my dads side but I just found out my uncle was diagnosed with thyroid cancer and is having surgery tomorrow. I'm thinking of letting my aunt know I'd be willing to host if they don't want to. In all reality our new house has the best set up for family gatherings. It is the biggest and only had 3 small steps to get into the house. I just don't want to step on anyone's toes.
Does anyone have any of the playmobil sets? I was thinking about getting the fire truck but wasn't sure if they are as cool in person as they look online.
heatherbee - I was obsessed with PlayMobile as a kid. I'm probably biased but I think those sets are awesome. I definitely want to get some for the kids eventually. H still has his firetruck from when he was a kid and he absolutely loved it.

I'm so pissed right now about Thanksgiving.
So I posted up in the thread about how we do this great Saturday Thanksgiving with my family and it's awesome. Well, I was talking to my mom today and she said something weird about Thanksgiving and I was like "what are you talking about" and she goes, "oh,we're going to [her SO's daughter's] for Thanksgiving, we'll be gone the whole week, I thought I told you." So she won't be back by Saturday for our Thanksgiving.
This is so silly, but I've spent every single Thanksgiving with my mom since I was born! And now she's just going to go away and cook all her thanksgiving food for some other family and not us?! So I text my sisters like "wtf is this nonsense about mom going away for Thanksgiving?" and my little sister (who hosts it at her house) writes back "you didn't know? I guess we could still do it Sunday but I made brunch plans Saturday. I figured we wouldn't do it if mom wasn't here" So now we aren't even having our Thanksgiving at all!
I'm just so upset. No one even talked to me about it and everyone is all "eh, no big deal." I literally had to go in the bathroom at work and cry, which is so stupid. But my family Saturday Thanksgiving is like one of my favorite days of the year. H's family tries Thanksgiving but it's not the same. Hard to feel super Thanksgiving-y with kimchi and rice on the table.
I'd offer to host it at my house, but I have a tiny house and kitchen. I don't even have enough chairs for everyone.
I'm sorry aimeefarrahfowler. I would be hurt and upset, too. How crappy.
Maybe you could have a nice family thanksgiving with just you, H, and the boys or do something fun to start a new tradition to look forward to each year.
I'm sorry aimeefarrahfowler. I'd be upset too. It's so hard not being with your family at thanksgiving and even harder that no one mentioned it to you until now! Hugs!

aimeefarrahfowler that's a total bummer. i hate not seeing my family at the holidays, it's just not the same.
my aunt mentioned she was thinking of doing Knott's Berry Farm on Thanksgiving this year, which means we probably wouldn't do a normal Thanksgiving meal either. totally bummed me out when she said that.
Waahhh! That sucks aimeefarrahfowler! I would be super upset too, especially this late finding out, and they didn't even realize they hadn't told you?! So shitty. I probably would have cried too.
My mom just texted me that it will just be my parents, and us 3 for thanksgiving. My sister is going to her bf's house. I'm a little disappointed but it will probably be relaxing.
