Ah, my first long weekend since I became
“self-employed.” It was so nice. But, as you probably guessed, we were busy,
busy, busy!! The festivities actually
started MUCH earlier than usual. On
Tuesday, I was able to volunteer at Jameson’s school. They had a Thanksgiving program and I, along
with 2 other moms, helped the kids to roll out, cut, and bake cookies for
refreshments after the show. It was so
fun to see him in his element. I swear I
could sit all day and just watch him at school!
Jameson was sooooooo excited for his program. He asked everyone he encountered if they were
going to his “show” and if they said no, he would say “that’s okay, we’ll
record it for you.” Well, Papa Terry,
Mama O, Cousin Alaina, Nannie Sandy, Aunt Rachel, Uncle Ben, and Aunt Becca
were able to attend. Let me just tell
you, it was THE CUTEST thing that I have ever seen!! And here it is for your viewing
pleasure!! After the program, we ate
lunch at Pizza Pie Guys with Papa Terry, Mama O, and Cousin Alaina. Then Wednesday night, Jameson attended his very first overnighter at the JCC. Only, we weren't sure how he'd handle staying overnight (or how *I* would, for that matter!), so we opted to have him stay until 10 instead. Then Russell and I took the chance to sneak away for dinner and a movie before picking Jameson up. And after that, I had the AMAZING opportunity to drop off some gifts that a wonderful group of ladies and I pooled together to give to a friend whose daughter is going through some things.
Thursday, of course, was Thanksgiving. We had a wonderful, family filled day. Just like we have done for the past few
years, we had lunch with my family (Dad’s side) and dinner with Russell’s
family. We were treated to two delicious
Thanksgiving meals. We were able to
catch up with some family that we don’t get to see very often. All with very minimal drama – pretty good for
two family get-togethers! I feel very
lucky to have so many wonderful people to call my family!
Friday was a recover day.
We relaxed, watched some football and ate anything other than turkey! Haha!
Saturday we took family pictures with my friend Amy. This was a reschedule. We were supposed to do them earlier, but
something else came up… :-) Anyway, I am thrilled about them! We had a lot of fun without any major
meltdowns – pretty impressive considering we had 5 people to keep happy! I’ll post a few pictures once our holiday
letters go out!
Sunday was another lazy day – soaking up the very last day
of our long weekend. Then, on Monday stuff
got real. We submitted the last wave of
paperwork to daycare licensing. So, it’s
just a matter of time before we get inspected and we’re off and running!! Eeek!!
