I cooked and baked all day yesterday, and now I only have the turkey left to pop in the oven.
We’re zooming with MH’s family this morning and playing Bingo with mine tonight, but otherwise it’s food, drink and just hanging around over here.

Morning! Happy thanksgiving friends! I am at work until 2. I aborted sleep training last night because V kept waking up and I had to be up at 4:30. I will start over tonight, nbd. When I get home later I will probably take a short nap and then start getting the rest of the food ready for the feast this evening.

Morning and Happy Thanksgiving!
Nothing much today. Whatever I end up cooking will be pretty simple. Just need to decide if we want a big lunch or dinner. Probably just chill in front of the TV most of the day.
Low key and safe.

Hi everyone - happy thanksgiving to you all.
We just had cinnamon rolls for breakfast, now just lounging around.
We are going to go to my aunt’s today and have dinner w her and my cousin. It’s supposed to be upper 60s so we will be able to space and be outside.

Good morning, friends! Happy Thanksgiving! I know I’ve been MIA lately; things are good, just super busy with DH gone. I am hosting T’giving today...I told the kids this is my Super Bowl, lol.
Hope you are all well, I’ll try to come back soon!

Happy Thanksgiving everyone! Yesterday I got the baking done (pumpkin cookies and peppermint brownie bars). We've got a big meal planned but it will be simple. FiL is the only one joining us and he's practically a hermit.
Probably watch movies and play board games.
Hope you all have a nice time with family.

Night before last MH said he woke up at 0130 and heard the girls talking. He went up to M's room and opened the door. C had a look of horror on her face. M instantly faked being asleep and C's horror intensified at seeing M bailed on her. The next day I asked M what on earth they were chatting about that time of night. She didn't even remember, but stated they did it because "we're sisters and we love each other."

Morning and Happy Thanksgiving!!
It's raining here so we aren't going to see anyone, not even for an outdoor dessert. I'm bummed but we're just going to relax and probably put up the tree. I'm watching strongman competitions with the boys and reaching out to say happy Thanksgiving to everyone I can think of.
So I know I am late but I finally finished the first season of Modern Love on the treadmill this morning. I know it got panned but I really enjoyed it, specifically that it wasn't just about romantic love. But now I need to decide what to watch next off prime video because I assume I will be treadmill-bound more often once the winter comes. Any ideas?

Mh and I did a small Thanksgiving just the two of us last night. He's about to leave to play golf with his dad and sister. I may zip over to the office to grab the cabinet and chair I couldn't fit in my car yesterday.
Other than that and it's just me and the cats, purging toys, building shelfs and cleaning. Fun fun.

Morning and Happy Thanksgiving!
I am grateful for you all and our “friendship” of 7-ish years! Kinda crazy, huh?!
We’re up and at ‘em. Slowly finishing the sides. I planned to dress the boys up because I’ve had these outfits for them since February. I am getting dressed, too and hoping my SIL can do an impromptu iPhone photo shoot if the boys cooperate. Only wish Mh was here to be in them. We haven’t done family photos in years.
Hope everyone has a good day!

Morning ladies! Post Partum has finally caught up with me, between the (tmi, sorry) hemorrhoids, pp contractions & a back ache, I’m shuffling around like an 80yo, I wish I could a bath! Our birth announcements arrived today, I had already written out al the adressen, so we could mail them out quickly. For Dutch standards, we were already quite late. Today was also our last day of our post partum nurse, so from we’ll have to make our own breakfast/lunch/tea, clean the bathrooms & do laundry again... which is sad, but it’s also nice to have the house to ourselves again  . |

Happy Thanksgiving! It was pouring before but it stopped and should be a little sunny by the time we go to my sister’s. For now we are watching the parade on tv. When the sponge bob balloon came on, C yelled “check out the ice pop.” We were great customers of the ice cream truck this year.

Morning all! I updated in the S birthday thread but S had a fabulous birthday. He was just so happy all day. Now he's busy building legos, B is watching the tablet MH is cooking and I'm catching up here.
We head over to our friends at 2 (the same ones that were here last night). I'm so thankful we have them to help keep us sane through all this.
And, of course, I am thankful for all you ladies. If you had asked me years ago if I would ever consider people on the internet I had never met to be friends, I would have told you you were crazy. Yet, here we are... and you all are some of the first people I think of when I want to share news.
So thank you.

Kids are better, MH is in Eeyore mood. He’s been there since yesterday so I have very little hope for a turn around today.

Cases are spiking in my province so we were told that we are to work from home, I've kinda been flying under the radar since July and now I'm for sure home until Jan at least guilt free. If I can make it to June and B doesnt have to go to OSC it would be the best ever.
We're planning when to buy a truck and trailer so I am on hold with insurance right now for a quote on a new truck, FX its not outrageous.

Happy thanksgiving ladies! I hope everyone has a relaxing day with delicious food and drinks! I slept horribly last night which led to a headache today that won’t go away. Maybe wine will help? ILs are hear occupying the kids in the basement so I’ve been able to keep the main floor clean and peaceful, which is my happy place |

Happy Thanksgiving! I am so thankful for you all. As jewels said you all are the first people I think of sharing things with and you all have helped me so much through rough times. Honestly I don’t know what I would do without you all! I’m glad you are well flamingo! We are watching the parade and dog show and loafing around today. Our meal from my mom will be here around 3 but we ate lunch so we probably won’t eat until dinner time. |

A got up with MJ this morning so I could get some sleep. It wasn't awful but she was very restless all night. I woke up with a sore boob and head. So I spent the morning on the couch. Got cleaned up and started cleaning up the house a little. Now I'm entertaining MJ while A, M and J play Pokémon. After they're done I will start cooking.
