Thoughts on being an Army wife and working mom...

What a great Thanksgiving we had today! We started with watching the Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade. Steve made pumpkin pies and got the turkey and stuffing ready. Yes, he does the cooking! Okay, I did make the gravy and potatoes. Anyway, after the parade we decided to take a walk down to the mailbox (about a mile and a half walk there and back). We thought we dressed warm enough, but mind you it was -4 when we woke up this morning. By noon it was a balmy 21 degrees! We were all frozen by the time we got home, but we got some great pics while we were out. See the "footprint"? The kids thought they had found a bear track - which would not be beyond reason in our area. Can YOU figure out what kind of track it is? :) Once we got back home and warmed up again it was time for family games - all afternoon! First we played Monopoly and for awhile it looked like the land baron Seth would win. But he got too greedy with his houses and hotels on Park and Boardwalk and they were his downfall. In the end, Slumlord Steve won the pot. After a GREAT dinner of turkey (of course) we settled down to another game of Sorry! This time I won, but the kids did their best to prevent that. Finally, pie and mind numbing TV before sending the kids to bed. All in all, while it was an uneventful day, it was the nicest day we've spent together as a family in a long time. There were more smiles, laughs and giggles even though Seth struggled with losing two games in a row (he's a sore loser just like me!). I hope your Thanksgiving was just as blessed and "uneventful" as ours!
