Thanksgiving Eve

 

My Dad and I braved the grocery store together today.  It was nuts!! We make a great team though, and made it out in about 35 minutes flat.  A couple of "get it done" people we are.  I had the list, he had the cart and we cruised.  I think he only took out a couple people along the way.

   

Back at his house I decided that I would like to sleep in his bathroom, on the heated tile floor.  Can you believe he does all of his own decorating?  Very impressive.

     

We had a fun evening of movie watching and game playing with my brother and his wife.  Have you played Apples to Apples yet?  Hilarious!  I'm sure to have sore stomach muscles tomorrow- so much laughing.

The Definition of Sweet:

Opening up your first set of golf clubs (she is 5 now you know).

Falling asleep in Grandma's arms.

And, turning this

into this:

(straberry freezer jam- 2 cups of berries and 4-that's right, 4!! cups of sugar per batch!! very, very sweet!)

Father's Day Festivities

I have lost this post 5 times now!  I am going with smaller pics this time to see if it works!

Father's Day Breakfast: white flour, corn syrup and some fat laden meat- eat up!

Some family golfing.  We always go to this little po-dunk course- the girls are not quite ready for collared shirts and proper footwear.

This is Emma whispering FOUR! when her ball snuck over to the next fairway.  Lot of blushing and giggling followed.

This putt went in and it was almost as fun to watch this one!  More to watch today. (I am not normally a huge Tiger fan- but when someone is giving him a run for his money it can exciting.  Normally, I prefer to watch Phil choke!)

Laurel went buzzing around and stealing/picking up everyone's ball- so I sequestered her in the shade and did some contorting for the camera.

Then, for dinner we had this:

Tex-Mex Turkey Burgers and Squash Salad (I think that is what they were called.) Everyday Food Jul/Aug 2008.

So, the weather finally warmed up and not a moment too soon.  This week is going to be so great.  Someone turns 5 on Saturday, and we are having visitors.  Other than that, I have a few organizational projects to complete and the usual day-to-day stuff...but then, let there be lots of playing, swimming, bike riding, book reading, sewing? and nap taking!!
