Thanksgiving Break

We've had a great Thanksgiving break. It's been mostly filled with lots of movie watching and episodes of Holiday Nailed It. I managed to do some projects. I spent the entire day Tuesday cleaning and spot painting all of the trim, doors, doorways, and walls. Oy! That is the worst job! Only I will really be able to tell the difference but I get so much satisfaction when I stare at my baseboards!

On Wednesday we got a late start to Arco. I didn't even look at the weather like an idiot. Luckily it was only bad for about the last 50 miles. The stretch through the Craters can be really bad. The roads were bad and it was snowing and dark. I was driving. I did good! Ha. It helped that there was basically zero traffic so I just drove really slowly. We got in and had soup and pies. Later that night we watched Planes, Trains, and Automobiles as per tradition. We went to bed fairly early. It snowed a ton over night. It was very beautiful. I was worried about the drive home and I didn't pack my kids snow stuff. Fail! They put garbage bags on their feet and managed to have some fun with the sled and four wheeler. Thanks Kelsey for driving, I did not want to go out there! We got Thanksgiving all prepped early as usual and had our feast at 11:30 am. Ha. As per tradition. We got a good nap in and headed home. It was a short trip but it was fun to visit and my mom's Thanksgiving dinner is my favorite! Also luckily we had clear roads and clear weather on the drive home. Phew!

My dad, Kelsey, Justin, Corbin and I all got a bit of a stomach bug. Corbin's was really short lived. I think mine is done I hope. I mostly just felt nauseaous and tired.

I've now been working on the boys room. I'm almost done! I just need to finish up some painting. Hooray!

Our Christmas stuff is all up and I've even managed to finish some of my shopping. Yay. Christmas shopping stresses me out! I hate thinking of gift ideas. I'm not very good at it. I only have two more weeks of basketball. Can't wait to be done!

Cuddled up watching Holiday Nailed It!

Scott has been working up a storm  on the shed taping, sanding and whatever else. Tough stuff! 

The kids all crammed together for a minute while watching a movie at my mom's house. They all wanted in on the cuddle action.

Thanksgiving dinner. Yum!

Corbin wore his bags on his feet for hours waiting until they went outside again. Ha.

So Beautiful!

Our view on the drive home.

I took the kids to Burger King for lunch on Friday.  It got crowded fast. I was not the only one with this idea.


New Decor on the walls.

I'm painting a blue accent wall. Still need to finish. I kind of love the way their tree is twisting and turning. It makes me think of a Dr. Suess tree!
