Gobble Gobble - Happy Turkey Day!!!

When I woke up this morning and I walked around the house I had random thoughts of thankfulness

The backyard is almost done....only 4 more weeks to go...lol


I am seating 20 in here! As you can tell there is no silverware yet on the table. The reason for that is the only silverware I have for 20 is the "good" stuff so I am talking myself into taking it out of it's safe velvet boxes to let the masses use it.....I can do it I can do it!

The man who woke up and let me sleep in is in the kitchen preparing the meal. I took this picture only cause I think it's funny how he loves to advertise for free for the locals....



Thankful for the turkey.....he felt no pain!



Do you know what these are...... I don't even drink this stuff but I love them!! They are so cute!


So I am thankful for the new no mess barely no set up/clean up -coffee,tea,hot cocco, maker for me!!!


Not so thankful for sweet potatoes.....yuck!


Thankful that at 8am the kitchen was still clean!



Oh sooooo grateful for the cute free slave labor!!


Thankful for the perfect bows!


Thankful that my lil turkey's for our dinner guests are almost done...he he he he


Have a Happy Thanksgiving all! Eat lots of turkey enjoy spending the day with family, drink lots of good vino and get to bed early so you can beat the crowds in the AM

Backyard update

So here we are at DAY 52.....well not really but it feels that long. Here is the pool almost emptied. The green slime would be from not having run the filter for the last 2 months waiting for this repair :



Here they have started to remove the liner but still working on draining the remainder of the water.



Here is the state of the pool for 2 days while they tried to stop water from coming up from under the ground. See the water at the bottom that is coming from the ground. All those tubes you see are trying to keep the water out.



Now here we are today. The liner has been successfully changed!!!! The pool is filled and awaiting it's cover. Now these nice men are freezing their butts off working tirelessly to get the patio in.


Look no more mud!!



Oh boy a step is coming!!



So they say this will all be done the day before Thanksgiving.....


I know I don't believe it either....lol

1 husband (who is NEVER home), 4 kids, 3 dogs (1 blind, 1 over 100lbs and 1 crazy).....

That would be what takes up most of my day and available time. So please keep that in mind when you come here and wonder why I haven't updated my blog! I'm working on it....jeesh some people have no patience!

Halloween night getting ready to go score some treats!


This is Sophia's very first house trick or treating at. Luckily for her Alyssa came out to the street to save Sophia the trip to the door. Then it took a few minutes to convince her to take the candy.
