Now we are going to start with Thanksgiving pictures because most of the week was spent cooking. Keep in mind that I used Rachel Rays Everyday Thanksgiving Recipes for most of the dishes.
Yes, I know this is not a great picture but look at how happy James is.
Damian is starting to love food almost as much as I already do. Here is a random lesson I learned If you use those super nice crystal glasses your saving for special occasion and beg your kids to be super careful with them don't break one in front of said kids. They will never let you live it down!
Kiss of Lemon Turkey. My husband loves to make the turkey and it turned out lovely.
Classic sausage stuffing. I cried on Friday because Rob ate the very last bite! I love stuffing and it loves to stick to my hips.
The best sweet potato dish I have ever made. Carmel Apple Sweet Potato Casserole.
Green Beans with toasted pumpkin seeds. I love fresh crunchy green beans.
Cranberry Raspberry sauce completely my own recipe and I should have made more! The kids licked their plants to get every little taste of wonderful that they could.
Turns out the boys love Turkey legs.
So we told them until they have little boys of their own they will get a turkey leg every year.
I loved doing this Thankfulness tree.
I am thinking about doing it all year by updating to different seasons. Changing these leaves to snowflakes and the ribbon to a pretty blue or red christmas ribbon. It is nice to be thankful.
This week we also sorted through a ton of the boys' things and found out out we do have a school room after all. Who knew?
The boys love this room more then they ever did when it was a toy room/library.
I love this room now too. We still do school work at the kitchen table in the mornings.
This is a miracle. I never thought I could organize anything.
Okay so I love that Damian loves to Read to his brother, but I was trying to show off our world map.
I saw a picture of a hat that my friend made. It was wonderful and she swore it was only the second thing she had ever crocheted. So I looked it up on Youtube (which is wonderful and truely evil) and began to make a hat. My first hat ever. It is not as easy as my friend claimed... Or I am not great at following directions. So here is my first hat ever.
Not bad. I could do better I am sure. I learned a lot about crochet while I worked on this hat. First I want to point out that it took me about three hours to make. I started over a million times. Really I lose count. Then I learned how to use a place marker and I didn't have to count any more. I think I missed something very important. Because look at the true size of the hat.

Did you have to scroll down to discover my secret?I hope so.
Are you ready?
I am not
but here it goes.
That's right friends my hat fits this toy hippo and lots of his hatless friends. I think I had better try again. It seems that my idea of a great hat stayed the same size even as it was born. Lesson learned here don't be afraid to fail. Maybe next time you will get it right. I will let you know if I ever do.
I hope your week is filled with sweet lessons, happy music, Love and Laughter. Be well my friend.
