Thanksgiving Approaching

I am about eighteen weeks along and Thanksgiving holiday is just around the corner. Both sets of parents are coming to the town and it is exciting. We are grateful that due to flexibility of one family, we are able to get together twice to celebrate Thanksgiving on different days. I look forward to having mine. It is the first one in twelve years.
My kids had their last day of school today and are home now. They are very excited- no homework and plenty of time to play. They are excited about hanging out with their cousins and friends. Clint and I have been going solo for many holidays lately. It sometimes go so bad that I don't know what is going on with Clint's family. Ha. My family is pretty small and very close knit. We call each other weekly on VP. We love it! Susan and I hang out on monthly basis. We do fun stuff like celebrating holidays, doing scrapbooking, and much more.
Morning sickness is OVER. I still feel unsettled occasionally after some meals but it isn't too bad. But after doing my daily duty facing down the toilet bowl, I found being able to be somewhere in the house doing something something to be extra grateful about.
I just did my house chores and feel a great deal more satisfied. I will have to go grocery shopping to get ready for Thanksgiving dinner. I am not expected to make major dishes but I got some dishes I will need to cook. It is what makes thanksgiving so special . . . traditional dishes!
Clint is all done with insulation! It just took him two weeks! We just had the inspector over and got a quick approval. We can't wait to get started on drywall! We may start this Saturday. We aren't sure. We didn't fix a date. Clint wanted to get his family's help in bringing in dry walls to upstairs and getting started. Clint and I agreed that there will be some huge change in appearance after having drywall up and screwed in.
I did some early Christmas shopping and am pleased to get some good stuff together. Now, it remains to us in doing family present assignments (we all draw lots on each other and give gifts to different but ONE family on yearly basis. It is good news bec we could be broke every Christmas if we had to do EVERY family).
Suzy had a cute Thanksgiving play where the kids are dressed up in handmade clothes (Indians or Pilgrims) and sang some songs last Friday. It was very short and we had pumpkin pies afterwards.
I guess that we are going to have pizza tonite. Annalise asked for it. If we left choice of dinner to kids everyday, it will be just: nuggets/French fries, pizza, and spaghetti on the menu on daily basis. Ha ha.
I updated the blog for fun. Made it more holiday themed. I guess I will need to update it with pictures as well. I ought to take pictures of upstairs . . . Show some changes!
Love ya all.
