The kids were out of school last Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. I only worked a half day on Wednesday and my generous boss let me off Thursday (naturally) and Friday too! Mr. Man had to work all day Wednesday and Friday as well.
We hosted Thanksgiving at our house, having some of my in-laws over - with my family included we had 14 people! It was a nice time with lots of amazing food!
I ended up not feeling well Thursday night and chalked it up to having had to get up early that day to start cooking, but turns out I was getting a cold! Booooooooo. I slept a lot on Friday and was officially back in bed by 7:30 pm. I felt much better Saturday! We put up Christmas decorations on Saturday and got all the Thanksgiving stuff packed away. Why is that you always find one last piece AFTER you put everything back in storage. As we were hauling out Christmas stuff I found a Thanksgiving centerpiece that had gotten pushed aside somehow!
Sunday was a colder one and so the kids and I hunkered in the house while Mr. Man braved the cold to go to a football game.
My boys have asked if they can cook during the week. They asked if they could work together and cook dinner and dessert three times per week. I am afraid they will quickly lose interest at 3 days per week so I have encouraged them to start out with one day per week and then we can add days as they get more comfortable in the kitchen (don't you like the way I said that? What I really mean is I don't want to eat spaghetti or mac-n-cheese 3 times per week!) Friday, when I was sick, they cooked spaghetti (with supervision of course) and then Lefty created a dessert (that I will admit I was scared of, but it tasted great!). Then I heard them discussing this week's menu - chicken with crushed graham crackers (barf!) so we have encouraged them to do something different! They will be making tuna noodle casserole instead. Although I look forward to a night off from cooking, I do know it will come with lots of faith and lots of water to flush it down with!
