Happy Thanksgiving!
Ok, I know it is early but I know I will not get back on here for awhile.  What is the family up to for Thanksgiving?  Well, with Travis' work schedule we will be staying home.  So that means I get to cook.  I received my "list" of requests the other day from the kids and Travis.  There was a slight panic that there may not be any pumpkin pie this year.  Travis was excited to see that I had gotten stuff to make pumpkin pie about 2 months ago so we are covered here.  Travis is still working 10hr days 6 days a week.  We will be eating "Turkey dinner" at 11am so we can fit the rest of his day in.  Yup he has it planned.  Christmas tree is going to go up and decorations too.  Since the outage has been officially extended to the 10th of December and unofficially until the 3rd week of December he figures he won't have much time to decorate later.

Marisa is having a "feast" in school tomorrow then has the rest of the week off.  The feast should be interesting since the food requested was a lot of sweets.  Rebecca has Grandfriends day tomorrow.  She will be having soup and songs with mom, Brayden, and Bridget since we were the only family able to attend.

We have had a round of sickness going around.  It started 2weeks ago with Marisa, then to mom Rebecca and Brayden last week.  Now it is to Dad and Brayden is still going through something new.  We are fighting a fever today with Brayden.

Bridget is determined to walk.  She wants no help in the feat.  She is stubborn about it too.  So far she gets 4 steps before wobbling to her but.  Her 2 top teeth are almost in.  She has been loving "patty-cake" and peek-a-boo.  Marisa is losing her 2nd tooth.  The Tooth Fairy may just visit before Thanksgiving but more likely closer to Christmas.  Brayden has taken a leap in language.  He is now trying to learn names of everything he sees.  He is starting to have a little more sentence structure.  Rebecca is excelling in pre-preschool.  She still doesn't want to clean but loves to color and put together puzzles.

I am staying sane through all this with playing soccer, and the visit from my mom (I really missed her and wished my dad didn't have to work).  Now if I can work on not getting hurt and running a little more while I am on the field.  Well I have been discovered.
