Happy Thanksgiving
So I'm cleaning up the house a bit in preparation for tomorrow's Thanksgiving feast at our home, Tara's first! A toddler in the house certainly adds a new, um, element to trying to get things in order. Order?
I cleaned the kitchen floor yesterday; today she knocked over a full cup of coffee (with cream and sugar) at the table (no one was hurt). I vacuumed yesterday; today she practiced using her scissors on a stack of junk mail. I put away all of her clutter-type toys in her toy box last night; do I need to finish this sentence?
And Mom, if you're reading this, I know you like to help clean up after dinner, but you should know our dishwasher broke, just in time for Thanksgiving. But don't despair: nieces Caroline and Meagan will be happy to do the dishes after dinner, I'm sure, since I'm taking them to the mall on Friday. Right girls?
Whoops, I better go see what else I need to do again...
Happy Thanksgiving to all! And to the families like us who brought home their precious children from Ukraine this year!
