Well, Thanksgiving is over, and of course, not without incident.  Wednesday, LuckyHusband and I went out into the middle of nowhere so that I could check out some stuff for work.  We had to go and look for an old water well at an old school (long story) and it was pretty cool.  The school was falling down, but the gym and auditorium were still in tact.  It was really neat.  But then again, the smallest things amuse me.  LOL!  Wednesday night, we went to eat at my mom’s house, which all in all went pretty well. 

Thursday, we began at 10 am with lunch at my aunt Sarah’s house and then went to LuckyHusband’s dad’s house at noon.  I was so tired when that was over and LittleMan didn’t nap very well because he was sooo tired. 

Friday, Scuba Steve and I went to the movies and saw Ice Harvest.  Dark comedy is one of my favorites and this movie was great!!  Billy Bob Thornton is hilarious and the movie was really well cast. (or is it casted??? hmmm…not sure).  When we returned to my dad’s to pick up LittleMan, he had fell and hit his head.  He had a HUGE goose egg on his forehead.  But, it really didn’t seem to bother him too much.  We also managed to get him to sit still long enough for a picture for our Christmas cards.  You can see the pic at http://cuteboyphotos.blogspot.com if you want. 

Saturday was the parade in town.  LittleMan and I were supposed to ride in the passenger seat of Hooker’s car (she was in the parade for being on the Homecoming court), but it rained and so rather that sit up on the back of the convertible and us sit in the front, she had to sit inside with the top up and so we didn’t get to ride.  It was so rainy and cold.  I couldn’t believe that people had their kids out in that mess to catch $1 worth of candy!  Instead LittleMan and I went home and ate supper (spaghetti, I was so sick of all that holiday food!!) and snuggled up on the couch and watched a cake-off on Food Network (which reminds me…I need to get on their website and see if those recipes are on there). 

Sunday (yesterday) we woke up and went to Sunday School and then to LuckyHusband’s mom’s house for Thanksgiving.  His two sisters kinda argued a little, which I found to be funny, and then his sister and mom were in the corner whispering (which I’m fairly sure was about me), and then we ate.  Nothing overly eventful.  LuckyHusband and I sent each other “help me” looks throughout the “visiting” stage after eating.  I hate that visiting stage.  You never know how soon you can leave and not be seen as rude.  I really hate lounging around at anyone’s house other than my own or at Hooker’s.  Everywhere else I just feel uncomfortable.   

Anyway, after eating, we went home and played outside where I tried to take some pictures while LittleMan played.  I got a cool pic of a fly that I’ll add to the photoblog soon.  Then we went into town and visited with LuckyHusband’s grandmother and that was about it. 

I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving!!!

Melissa-Mom to LittleMan (4/04); wife to LuckyHusband; full-time toxicologist; full-time housekeeper; full-time domestic laundromat manager (washes all the clothes); full-time domestic finance manager (pays all the bills and yells at husband for spending too much money on fishing stuff); and Keeper of the Cheerios. Lives in a tiny town; spends tons of time with family; reads; enjoys crafts. Can change a diaper, fill a sippy cup, and put on a toddler's shoes in 15.4 seconds flat, all while calculating the impact of petroleum hydrocarbons to a nearby surface water body (watch for me in the Toddler Olympics on CBS this fall). Addicted to Dr. Pepper; Kit Kats; and pasta. To spot me in a crowd: I'm the one with frizzy messed-up hair, smeared graham crackers on my shirt; huge purse with a diaper peeking out, toddler on her hip, and camera in hand at all times.
