Wow. Two days spent primarily cooking. Everything cleaned up nicely yesterday morning, (kids helping) and the food turned out great. My Dad ended up not coming. He hurt his back.
I was very pleased with everything--the kids just raved about the mashed potatoes! Go figure. The gravy was great, and everything turned out delicious.
I pretty much did nothing today.
And I didn't have that many leftovers, which was what I planned for dinner tonight, so now I have no idea what to make! Would be great if everyone would be happy to have pumpkin pie for dinner.
I ate pretty much everything I served. I tried to keep the portions small. I did have seconds before bed, of the turkey, potatoes, and gravy. All in all it was a pretty good day foodwise. But I did not stress about how many calories everything was. I just tried to keep the portions small.
Today my food was normal fare, except for dinner which I still have no idea what I will be making.
Rachel and Mary are out on the town, going to see The Muppets for her birthday.
The rest of the kids: slept in, watched tv or played video games all day, and pretty much got along nicely. They go back to school Tuesday.
For some reason I woke up early.
So it's been a lovely start to the holidays. No black Friday shopping, we haven't started decorating for Christmas yet. It's not even December. I like to wait til then. The kids all want to decorate sugar cookies this year, which I am horrible at rolling and cutting out but maybe I'll do better than before.
Bethany did well with her 'baby', but she didn't sleep much. I didn't hear a thing. *grin*
Making wise choices through the hustle and bustle,
Laura
