A Wonderful Thanksgiving

This has been the most amazing and joy-filled Thanksgiving Holiday that I can remember. I want to memorialize it but work is lurking ferociously at me from behind this browser window. I'll attempt to be brief. Few can comprehend how painful that is for me. *martyred sigh*

On Wednesday I got the boys after work and we had a delightful evening... standard stuff. Crafts & games & supper.

On Thursday (Turkey Day) we cleaned the apartment. It was great! I organized them and directed them, and we got almost the entire living room & kitchen. I love having a clean apartment again! Holidays are great for that. Best of all, we had great fun while being productive. Bonus.

We enjoyed Thanksgiving Dinner at a friend's house. Gregg is a divorced father, and his mom cooks a superb turkey dinner with the standard fixin's, and everything is made from scratch. I'm not usually one for banana-cream pie, but I was deliciously surprised. There was a big rubber ball (a Pilotes ball, I think it's called) and the boys had a blast balancing on it. We recorded several efforts; I hope to post some of the video and pictures soon. We laughed and joked and played for over an hour with that ball. It was spectacular fun.

Then we watched Wall-E. Excellent movie! The boys had seen it and they took great delight in pointing things out in case I was missing anything. I think I enjoyed their enjoyment even more than I enjoyed the movie.

We got home really late but it was so worth it. A great memory of a great day.
