Thanksgiving Prep Day 1

Today I spent most of the day getting ready for Thanksgiving. I am hosting Thanksgiving dinner for our families this year. I am super excited about it! I love cooking and sharing it with people. So, today, I dusted, cleaned the cushions on the couches, and Jacob touched up some of the paint that had been chipped off. I also made the grocery shopping list and made sure I had all my recipes. Tomorrow I plan on cleaning the stove, doing the self clean on the oven, and cleaning the microwave.

This afternoon Jacob went to Costco for me. I gave him a list of everything we needed and he picked it up for me. Costco is such a chore, especially when you have to go with 2 children. He picked up one of their Caesar salads and some bread to have with the spaghetti I cooked for dinner. Their Caesar salads are delicious. We are becoming a total Costco family. We are having to buy a lot of stuff there. I can't even imagine what our grocery bill is going to be like when Jaron is a teenager.

Well, I am going to go watch Jaron and Jenna play "bam" with Jacob. It is one of their favorite things to do in the evening when Jacob is home. For those of you who don't know, "bam" is our family's version of wrestling that takes place in our living room. Jacob always gets ganged up on, but he loves it and so do the kids. Hearing the three of them laugh is one of the best sounds!
