Thanksgiving!

Nico and Guy had Saturday to spend together while I was at a festival doing henna. They went to the library, and the mall. We are not doing pizza on Saturdays for a few weeks while our oven is being fixed, so they didn't do pizza. Sunday they both went to church together while I finished up at the festival.

Monday was a day at home and Tuesday was an errand day. It's been fun to have the buddy at home for the week because of Thanksgiving.

On Tuesday we got a Thanksgiving box from the Grandparents Russell. Treats, and some art supplies, we've been playing with those the last few days. It was great timing to get some new supplies during his week off. Thank you Grandpa and Grandma!

He used his new art supplies to design a henna tattoo. He was very proud of it when he showed me. I asked him if he wanted to try doing it in henna and he said yes, here's the result!

Allicia and the kids were out of town earlier this week so we had the house to use during the day. We used their oven on Wednesday to make our pumpkin pie and stuffing, and then again today to heat up our turkey and bake our green bean casserole. We bought a cooked turkey breast from Costco that we just sliced up and heated.

We ate:
turkey
green bean casserole
cranberry sauce
sweet potatoes
stuffing
pumpkin pie

We pulled our table out from the wall so we could all sit at it. It was very nice. I made the stuffing with sourdough bread, Guy said it was good but I didn't prefer it. It was a nice experiment!

After we were done eating we played UNO

We FaceTimed with the Grandparents Russell tonight, Nico seems a little more on board with FaceTime now that he's a bit older. It was fun to see them!

We will get to see the Grandparents Salisbury tomorrow!

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone!

Delivery

We got a delivery of diapers and wipes today, 3 different boxes since they were both packed into a larger one. Nico had fun playing with all 3 of them!

Saturday market this morning. Our normal dried apple purveyor is not at the market any more this year, so we stopped by the market booth and asked if there was any other place that sold dried fruit. Yes, one other place! We stopped by and bought dried apples from them. They are different than what we're used to, but they are still very tasty. We also picked up our holiday turkey.

Boxin'

Nico crawled into this box with the iPad while I was washing dishes this morning.

We are still battling illness! He woke up with a barking cough this morning, but after some homeopathy and a few minutes of steam-time in the bathroom, he is already sounding better. I'm updating the blog for today at 9:30 in the morning! But I know if I don't do it now that I will forget this evening.

Box Tops

Nico found the box the diapers came in and put it on his head and walked around like that for a while.
