Our Thanksgiving week has gone by rather quickly. I thought for sure I’d get lots of projects done, but instead I spent the first half of the week fighting a cough and sniffles. Fortunately by Wednesday I started to feel better, but by then it was time to kick it into gear for Thanksgiving dinner.
I had lots of fun making my favorite things for our family feast. And the children seemed to really delight in the goodies that adorned our little buffet line on Thursday. We didn’t go anywhere else for Thanksgiving Dinner. We just enjoyed the company of our family.
And after our dinner and a rest, we headed out to have dessert and game-time with Roy & Mary and family.
Today, Black Friday, we decided not to participate in the shopping frenzy. Instead, we had a quiet morning, and then ran errands during the middle of the day. One of the errands included looking at a loft bed that we thought we might be able to use to rearrange kids a bit, thus making room for the next kiddo who will arrive in about 5 weeks. We bought the bed (second-hand), and then worked hard to get it assembled and in place in the study, believe it or not. Isaac is delighted to have a new place to call his own. I hope it will be a good arrangement. Time will tell.

One wonderful side benefit from the rearranging project is that it pushed me into sorting through some boxes that have been sitting and waiting for my attention for a very long time. What a great feeling to get things looking better. Hopefully tomorrow we can continue with the project and have even more areas looking more tidy.
