Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!
It’s been a Happy Thanksgiving out here. It’s been nice to be home, wear pajama pants all day, etc. At the same time, there’s something appealing about traveling and buying new “holiday” outfits and being around LOTS of family. It’s a toss up, and this year pajamas won. Budget restraints and all. And I thoroughly enjoyed the day.
We woke up to a Thanksgiving miracle, Camper slept until 8:30am! Whoa, wait…let me back up.
John and I had a DATE last night. (I KNOW! Two in one month! Crazy!) We went out to movie and brought some dinner home. My husband must love me, because he sat through New Moon without even groaning at ALL. (Even with all the girls screaming every time a shirtless male wolfager came onto the screen. Which was a lot.) I enjoyed the movie (I’m not even sure why I like these movies/books…I’m not going to defend it. Just going to enjoy) and SUPER enjoyed pawning off dinner/bedtime routine on PopPop and LaLa. I love putting Camper to bed, but sometimes it’s nice to have someone else to do the whole wrestle into diaper/PJ’s/brush teeth, gather the water, the blankie, the book routine. It makes it all that much better the next night. (Except I just realized that I forgot to brush his teeth tonight. Seriously, bad mommy.) We got back around 9pm, and then watched Kung Fu Panda (or part of it anyway) while enjoying a late night Chinese food dinner. And then the baby slept.
Til 8:30 in the morning.
So I got up and got some breakfast. Then we cuddled and watched the parade. La La actually got up and started all the food at 6am, which meant we ate around 12:30. Camper actually napped through the EATING EVENT and for some reason the rest of us all wore yellow shirts by accident. I ate way more than I should, even with John warning me how much I hate to be tooo fuulllll. But I ate that much anyway. And then we watched GLEE on the DVR (this week’s was eh.). And it was very, very relaxing. When Camper got up, I actually laid down for a nap myself. John slept in this morning but I was all full of energy and UP…until about 3 when I got SUPER tired. Full belly needed a nap. And so I slept. John hung out with the Bubbs until he was stolen by La La for some Thanksgiving visiting (he got to go play with another kiddo for awhile, one older than him but one he loves to play with) and then back home for some more chilling.
We ended the day with some walking practice (Camper working off his dinner walking between all of us around the living room) and a teeny piece of pumpkin pie for the baby. A last minute BAP and bed. And now we’re just chilling. And I’m waiting 7 more minutes to eat some Doritos. A self-imposed food ban to allow myself to DIGEST before eating some more holiday favorites. I don’t what is SO DARN FESTIVE about Doritos- maybe it’s just that we only buy them on holidays. Yup. That would do it.
