It was my turn to work Thanksgiving this year so I missed a nice breakfast with the boys at home but they made up for it by coming to see me for our first of two turkey dinners today!!! As we had no other invitations for this turkey-day, my friend and co-worker, Deannea, offered to have us over for dinner.
We were excited to have dinner with Deannea and her family but I was a little anxious as her children are teenagers and her house has long since lost the need to be toddler-proofed and Brandon is quite (oh, lets see how I should put it)...independent-minded these days, so I was fearful it would turn into a battle of the wills! Brandon (and Mason) did great and I think we may be invited to return in the furture. Thanks for a great dinner Deannea.
We accepted a last minute invitation to spend Friday with Uncle Robert/Aunt Cheri (and cousins) in Phoenix. Brandon and Mason had a blast exploring the backyard, checking out the horses, and playing with Jess's old toys. The highlight of the day for the boys had to be riding the tractor with daddy...their smiles couldn't have been bigger!
The weekend was supposed to be relaxing, just spending time with the kids and decorating for Christmas however Dad encouraged us to replace our kitchen sink (which was a freebee from my Dad)! Let's just say it was not as easy or inexpensive as one would think. It took three trips to Home Depot, a new disposal and faucet, and a lot of frustration (digging through the trash looking for missing parts). So our free sink only cost us ~$250! So much for the free sink! But, I will admit, it does look nice.
