DD decided to have a MOTN party for no apparent reason so I think we'll just hang around the house today. We're going to head over to my parents tonight and help my mom prep some food since we're going to my ILs tomorrow.
C has been sick but its slowly on the mend. H decided to stay home which is amazing because I got a little extra sleep and Ill get to start making desserts without a crying clingy baby on my hip all day! Sister has been on the back burner this week since C has demanded all my energy so we are about to pop out to a starbucks date. As she calls it "just girls starbucks"

Jealous of all of you getting to feast tomorrow, but I'm still just as excited because DH comes home tonight!! I'm booking myself a massage for a little alone time, and we are going to cut down our Christmas tree, visit Santa, and maybe go to the Festival of Trees this weekend. I plan to take full advantage of these 4 days.
I'm so jazzed for this weekend, it's not even funny. I LOVE Thanksgiving. DS is in day care, H is home (and hopefully vacuuming and mopping). I'm at work for the morning, but leaving at noon so H and I will have a lunch date, and then I'm going to start baking for tomorrow. We'll probably pick DS up once his nap is over this afternoon. I just LOVE Thanksgiving, we have plans with different friends/family every day this weekend, so just looking forward to lots of food and love - and also finally putting up the Christmas tree

I have to work today, but at least I will have Friday off. I was given the option to work friday, but driving 3.5 hour round trip to work 4 hours...no thanks.
I'm participating in an online black Friday vendor event instead, so if anyone wants to join the event, I can send you a link (it's on facebook). I will be offering specials that day, as well as different specials on small business Saturday and Cyber Monday.

holliberry28, M is going to do great! When you come home, she's going to tell you all about the spoken word poetry he's been composing.
Today is DH's birthday - YAY! We woke him up with pancakes and presents. I always make a big deal over his birthday because his family never did. His brother is earlier in November, and they would go out to eat, cake the works, but then when his rolled around, it was basically just a cake at Thanksgiving. I've done a surprise party, bowling party, one year I rented a van and drove him and his friends around to a bunch of craft breweries. This year I convinced his mom to come down.
He can't remember the last time she's spent his birthday with him, but it has been 10 years since he's seen her at Thanksgiving. I hate having her here, but I'm kind of excited that she's going to see how we celebrate him. We're going out to his favorite restaurant tonight, I made him a chocolate mocha cake, and my entire extended family always makes a huge fuss over him at Thanksgiving. My mom made his favorite ice cream cake, and basically after the Thanksgiving meal it turns into a birthday celebration.
Teleworking today. If I get enough work done in the morning, I'm going to treat myself to a long lunch. H is picking up the kids a little early this afternoon and then we are going to run some errands, etc.
School is closed so we're heading up to my mom's for the holiday. My excitement today will be eating at the Pizza Hut buffet. Happy Thanksgiving Eve everyone!
Just a regular day here. DS's second last gymnastics class is later this afternoon.
DD woke up this morning and it was one of those days where she looked different to us again. She had a couple nights of pretty hard sleep so maybe doing a little growing!
We bought her a Leapfrog My Pal Violet for Christmas. We haven't owned one of these before, we programmed it last night so it was already personalized for when she opens it and omg is it ever a cute toy!
Good randoms today, ladies! Both me and H are super busy at work today, unfortunately. I don't know who is picking up DS from school at this point, so it's a whirlwind of a day! But once we get through this work day, we can relax, drink a little (or a lot) and order a pizza. I have some cooking to do for tomorrow so I'll get to that. DS will watch a movie and LO will alternate between playing on his own and hanging on our legs in the kitchen. So looking forward to this 4 day weekend!

Hey ladies! I am pretty excited for Thanksgiving tomorrow, we are headed to my parents' early tomorrow and then LO and I are staying there tomorrow night, it will be nice to have some family time. I made peanut butter buckeyes (basically peanut butter balls dipped in chocolate) and it is taking everything in my power to not eat any...
billyhorrible, can you believe it's mh's bday tmrw? Lmao why am I not shocked. Happy birthday to him! We can't celebrate his bday tmrw since he will be out of town, but will be Friday night when he gets back
One of these days we will meet and take home the wrong children.
tiffbot we love violet over here! I've repersonalized her (last year lo's favorite food was milk; now it says macaroni and cheese!) with no issues, too.
tiffbot, we have Scout instead of Violet, but A loves him. It's definitely one of his favorite toys. The way it says his name is a little strange but cute.

Guys, I just ruined two cakes. This afternoon I managed to burn both layers. So I tried again when DS was in bed. It looked fine coming out of the oven, but cut into it after it cooled and the center is fucking RAW. I normally am awesome at baking cakes. I'm so mad, and really hoping this isn't a sign of things to come tomorrow at FIL's. I'll be picking up a cake at the grocery store on my way. Thanksgiving double fail.
