Last Wed was our cooking and cleaning day. The kids were troopers and helped clean the house with very little complaining... not a common occurrence. Jer made 8 pies, and we went out to Tucanos with my family. The Riverwoods mall had their Santa out and he's my particular favorite anyways, so we stopped for a visit. (I'll post pictures off my phone later). Evelyn refused to talk to him unless he could give her a candycane, but Ada and Sam both talked to him and luckily they asked for the one store bought present that we'd already bought them. Ada wanted a scooter, and Sam wanted a stuffed animal from Pokémon. I'm making Sam a stuffed minion from Despicable me... and Evelyn a Rainbow Dash hat, and Ada a pencil case holder for all of her drawing stuff. I think I'm going to make a caterpillar puppet for Seth. We'll see what happens.
Thursday was Thanksgiving. The kids were soooooo excited that we were going to spend it with John and Diane's family. The food was good, the friends were fun, and we had fun chatting, watching Studio C and watching the Edge of Tomorrow. The kids were especially excited about the ice cream sundaes that Diane made for them.
Diane uses special Christmas dishes for her kids. We could have borrowed some from Jer's parents so that our kids could match, but Ada wanted to make her own. So she colored Christmas tree patterns for all the kids on paper plates. Too cute.
Rachel was having a drumstick... so Ada wanted the other one. I told her that I didn't think she'd eat it... so she proved me wrong... she ate the entire thing plus tons of ice cream... and her stomach hurt for the next three days.
