Yes, it’s been a long week.

I’m really just tired of school work and I’m so glad that we only have two days this coming week and then 5 days off.  I think the kids and I really need this time off.  We’ll be using the day before Thanksgiving to make as much as we can, so Thanksgiving Day will be easiler, less stressful.  We’re not having any company.  The only family we have here is Jody’s brother and his family, I was inviting them but they already had plans.  I guess I wasn’t quick enough.
Here’s our menu for Thanksgiving:

1. Turkey (of course!)
2. Stuffing
3. Mashed potatoes
4. Corn
5. Green bean casserole
6. Cole slaw
7. Cranberry sauce
8. Dinner rolls
9. Double layer pumpkin cheesecake
10. Autumn apple pie

Desserts, stuffing and cole slaw will be made the day before…if all goes according to plan.

I can’t wait!  We’ll also spend the day before reading all of our Thanksgiving books and thanks to a good friend we have a new one about Thanksgiving in our new state of Florida.  I think it’s called The Real First Thanksgiving…but I’m not positive.  I’m looking forward to reading that one.
