Black Friday

What a bummer Bret had to go to work today. This morning the kiddos played with trains. We got ready to go do a couple errands. We made it to Wal Mart but not until late. What a crazy place. It was so busy-the hardest part was keeping an eye on the kids. But the kiddos did so well listening. I wanted to go there to get some Hot Wheel things for Justin. After we went to Chuck E Cheese. The kids were so excited to go there, so cute. They had a blast playing all the games they could. It wasn’t busy at all which was great. After I took the kiddos out for lunch then to the grocery store. We came home and played trains again. The kiddos played so well when we got home. Gave the kiddos a bath and daddy came home early from work. Since we had our Turkey Day dinner tonight, daddy got the turkey fryer out. The kids played really well while we worked to get dinner ready. Right before dinner Art and Bernice (neighbors) came over and gave the kids birthday gifts. They got laptops, so cute. They were so excited and thank goodness there were two.

So with dinner and the mess of opening the laptops our kitchen was a mess! We had a great Thanksgiving dinner. The kids helped make the rolls and were very proud to eat them. Dinner was a bit hard as they were so excited about their laptops. After dinner we played laptops. The laptops have little mice and everything. They practiced with the mouse and led him through a maze, Justin was the first one to be successful. It was a great family night! I am thankful for my amazing family. I was a little sad thinking that our doggie Tracey died 3 years ago on Thanksgiving. She was my baby and I think about her and miss her all the time. When the mention of pie came was mentioned the kids dropped their laptops. They did really well with their laptops, Justin was figuring out what didn’t belong and Nicole was picking letters. We went upstairs and read books. I got out all the Christmas/Chanukkah books. The kiddos are sound asleep excited that we will be starting My Gym tomorrow. We signed up for the Monday class but I am going to miss the first one so we are going to go tomorrow instead. Hopefully daddy can come-he may have to work.
