Two Days before Turkey Day Tuesday!

Well, it’s actually less than 2 days now, because it’s late in the afternoon!  I went to the store this morning and got what I hope is all the remaining ingredients needed for our
Thanksgiving dinner and for all meals before then.  So, other than cleaning, we are ready.  I hope to enlist the help of the 3 kiddos tomorrow in gettin that done since they will be out of school.  Probably wishful thinking on my part though!  If this morning was any indication of how the next 5 days will be with them home, it’s going to be a very long 5 days!  2 sons are constantly fighting……

 Good day today.  I had oatmeal for breakfast, with mashed banana and a handful 0f raisins in it.  I like to mash up a banana cause I can’t stand the taste of it otherwise, and it’s better than putting  a bunch of brown sugar in, which is what my husband usually does!  Sometimes I’ll do applesauce instead.  Lunch was some leftover  whole wheat spaghetti with sauce and 1/2 a toasted bagel with a teany bit of butter and garlic.  Also had an orange for a snack.  For dinner I’m going to make chicken with asparagus and carrots.  It’s pretty easy.  You cut of the veggies then place the chicken in foil with the veggies on top and wrap it up and bake in the ove.  I made it once before and dh liked.  The kids ate the chicken but of course didn’t want anything to do with the veggies.

I went for a walk around the neighborhood yesterday afternoon and again just a bit ago.  I can’t believe how warm it is!  I’ve been wearing capris and tshirts outside the past several days!  It’s supposed to change very quickly though, and have a chance for snow tomorrow and temps in the 20 later this week.  I was thinking I’d try to get the kids outside this evening when they get home from school and before it gets dark.  Maybe if they run off all their energy tonight they won’t drive me crazy over their Thanksgiving break!
