Thanksgiving

It has been awhile since I have updated. However, the McCall's still have me beat. LOL. So Yesterday morning, I went to work, and the Boss Lady let me off early. Sweet! Day going good so far. We got ready and out of the house at a decent time. Awesome! Up at Jeremy and Sam's, the men started up the deep fryer.... I forgot the thermometer. So they had to run to the store for another one. The boys get into my car. It won't turn over. The steering column is stuck. They leave in Jeremy's car, and 20 minutes later the following happens....

Yes, folks. The boys left the fryer on, and Dad couldn't have known what temperature it was on. Apparently, it got a little too hot. After about 2 hours, the oil was cool enough to proceed. However in the torching of the oil, most of it was burned up. Tim was sent back to the store to get more oil. FABULOUS. After all was said and done, we ate at 7 or so. It was worth it. My pies turned out good, the mashed potatoes were moist.... And the fashionably late guest, Mr. Turkey was well worth the wait.

The kids were ready for bed by 10pm. So I watched them play while we were trying to get the boys off of the Wii. This morning they met up to hunt. I hope they get something.

On another note. Jairus has gotten his glasses. He does great with them, and I can see such a difference in his interaction with the world. Now he is more daring and "boy-like" in the stunts he will try. Now I am bracing myself for his first big injury.

Like any other Thanksgiving, we are supossed to reflect on the past year's blessings. I am thankful for my family. For growing, for forgiveness, and understanding. I am thankful for God, and His supernatural provision, blessing and love. I am thankful for my Husband's support and friendship. I am thankful for my friends, who make me laugh, ponder, and who are always there for me. I am thankful to my trainer too! She is worth every penny, and she is giving me the push I need. It has been a great year, looking forward to another one.
