Livi is Thankful

What it says:
I spend Thanksgiving with (picture of our family including Tonks)
My favorite thing to eat at Thanksgiving is: cinnamon rolls and pumpkin squares
Before Dinner we: wash our hands
After dinner, we: watch Doctor Who together (it's a Tardis on the tv)
One tradition my family has is: play together

I am thankful that the things that are important to me I've seemed to successfully instill in my children.  I am thankful there wasn't video games, or yelling, or frowning faces.

Pro-cras-ti-naaaaaaaaa-tion (sung like Carley Simons "Anticipation.")

Well.  Deep breath.  I can survive this week.  Maybe...

Oh well, to take my mind off of it all here is something completely different:

Tonks REALLY, REALLY likes freshly washed clothing.  Maybe it is because it is warm, maybe it is the smell, whatever it is laundry time has turned into:

Where's Tonks???

She IS a great dog, but she does have a very bad habit; she takes everything she can get her paws onto outside.  This was the latest pile Eric collected before mowing the lawn.  I think she likes it that I have to wash them all making... more yummy smelling laundry!!!

Livi's latest picture from preschool.  I didn't know being in a furnace was such a pleasant experience for Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego!  I know they weren't hurt at all, but man, they look like they are ready to toast marshmallows and sing campfire songs!

To preface this next picture I had a melt down tonight.  Not a panic attach, thank goodness, but a good old fashioned melt down.  Mostly I am sad that I am not going to be anywhere close to having a costume for Halloween, plus my super crazy week combined with not enough sleep for a week.  Basically I needed a cookie.  Badly.  So I made some, because that, my friends, is how I roll.  Not enough time to do what you need to?  Procrastinate and make cookies.  Not just any cookies, time consuming sugar cookies!  Not just any sugar cookies, super awesome sugar cookies:

For me I made Doctor Who cookie cutters (because that is also how I roll) so I could make Doctor Who cookies.  The TARDIS needs some work on the decorating end, but the Daleks turned out pretty awesome, if I do say so myself.

I made ninjas for the kids because I needed more sugar cookie ninjas in my life.

Turns out I made ninjas for Eric too.  He had a little too much fun with his cookies:

Hi Yah!
