And so it goes. . .

The week has gone quickly. . .and we've enjoyed it. We have watched "A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving" at least 5 times, and eaten our weight in turkey and pumpkin crunch--played board games at Nana and Papaw's house, played Turkey Ball (my husband and his high school friends began having a Turkey Bowl and Donut Scarf 21 years ago when they were about 17--the tradition continues, though now it's the offspring who are playing--the founders prefer to coach), had a cold that I could actually nurse without missing school, sort of reclaimed my kitchen and laundry area, talked to my mother on the phone about 6 times. A busy and enjoyable week for sure.

Darkness is falling outside--the kids and Tony are in the back yard--he is mending crab nets so when he tries to catch some tomorrow they don't escape. Victoria is raking leaves into a pile while wearing her candy cane pajamas. Thad is sitting in the grass playing with a Chinese Yo-Yo--the paper ones that snap back--now he's just beating it on the ground and waving it to and fro--possibly imagining his own Nascar race. . .time to fix dinner--hug children--take care of the husband.

Hope you had a good week too.
