November 24, 2010

It was a VERY BUSY day for us today. The kids and I both had the day off from work/school. We took the van out to the auto body shop and got an estimate on getting it fixed. The lady who ran in me damaged the bumper enough that the plastic surround on it has to be replaced. The damage to the side of the van will be fixed, too but we'll pay for that. I'm just really glad to have that all taken care of until we take it in to get it fixed. I have to drop it off next Wednesday. The lady's insurance is going to pay for a rental car, too. The place we take the van too arranges all that for us, too.

The kids and I went and got a few things at Wal-mart after we left the auto body shop, then we came home. We ate lunch and got started cleaning. We cleaned the rest of the day and the kids really did a great job and did not complain at all. The did every thing I asked them to do. I am very proud of them.

Michael made two pumpkin pies, a cheesecake and cranberries when he got home tonight. He brought Subway home with him so we wouldn't have to cook anything tonight for supper. Michael also cleaned up the basement tonight. He's such a great husband.

I started working on the turkey at 10:00 p.m. I made the stuffing and cleaned out the dishwasher before stuffing the turkey. Michael helped me get the bird in the oven and I turned the oven on so it could start cooking. I love cooking the turkey that way. Having the house smell like turkey when you wake up is so incredible. That's how Thanksgiving was when I was growing up (when we stayed home for it) and I just love it.
