What the Wednesday!

Jarom's youngest brother moved in with us
He's a great kid and my kids love having a live-in jungle gym
Now I have a slight idea of what it's like to have a teenage son
And how much they eat!
Every time I look in the fridge, we're out of something
But he cleaned out my workout room
And takes out the trash
And did my dishes
So I guess he can stay



Thanksgiving is tomorrow
Pie cookin' day is today!
Oh, how I love Thanksgiving




Last week, Cannon and Jarom watched
How it's Made
It was about sardines.  gross.
Cannon was obsessed and talked sardines all week long
So when I made our grocery list and I asked him what snack he wanted
Of course, he said "SARDINES"
I wrote it down but hoped he would forget when we got there
Oh no
He saw them on the aisle with the mustard and pickles
A can was only $.75 so I let him carry it through the store
Anytime he could get someones attention
He would go into great detail about how sardines are caught and packaged
He would talk about how he couldn't wait to get home and eat them
So that night, Jarom opened them up
And the smell alone sent Cannon running out of the room
"EWWWWWW!"  He screamed
And he hasn't spoken of them since...




Meanwhile on that same shopping trip
I had a couple bunches of kale in my cart
And I didn't notice for a little while
But Hazel scarfed down two whole kale leaves
Like they were made out of candy
That's what you get when you have a child who can't eat anything!




I'm running a turkey trot tomorrow
It's a good think I haven't run the entire month of November
Heaven help me!




I'm thankful for scarves




I'm thankful for my van
(never thought I'd say that)




I'm thankful for naps




I'm thankful for you




Have a thankful Wednesday!

Oh, Cannon! He's so great! I just adore that kid!

And Hazel... what a good girl! You know, a lot of parents think "it's a good thing my kid doesn't have allergies like that because I can't get my kids to eat vegetables at all!" Then little tiny Hazel scarfs down kale! I tell ya, she and Mitchell are quite the pair! He scarfs down spinach. I was reminded recently about how last Thanksgiving, he wouldn't touch ANYTHING (even the jello dishes) except the green peppers.

I may need a dose of your kids again soon. If you want a kid free shopping trip, please bring them over!!!

Kale smells like BO to me, I can't believe she ate it! Noah used to do that with green beans. He'd run into the produce section and grab them by the handful.

Sardines are sick.

I love Thanksgiving. And pie.

I'm thankful for all those same things! Especially you. You're sooo cute.
