Twas the nigh before THANKSgiving

So I'm up past my bedtime making a berry pie, a cheese ball and hard boiling eggs for deviled eggs. All the hard core cooking is being done tomorrow BUT lets face it all the stuff I'm doing tonight would NEVER get done if I left it for tomorrow... today was a pretty productive day... we went into town (yes we are that hick-ish) got rolls, a pumpkin pie and a few odds and ends that I had forgotten last week I let the kids pick a movie as a reward for FINALLY helping me get the house clean.. we also picked up carpet cleaning solution because I started cleaning the carpets and discovered I could only get through almost half of the living room before I ran out.. but when I got home I finished the carpets, Ben and I went out and got pizza for the kidlets and we stopped and picked up a frozen apple pie because everyone previously said all they wanted was berry and pumpkin but thought better of it when told speak now or forever hold your peace! so tomorrow should be a fun layed back Thanksgiving, it's just us we contemplated inviting people over but all our close friends already had plans and it kinda felt good to just have "us"... if the weather is good Ben will take the boys to the "turkey bowl" down in Concord and try not to hurt them selves although the boys already know if it's raining they are staying home...
today in my scurry to get the house clean the kids kept asking "who's coming, why are we cleaning?" kinda made me feel bad they think the only time I clean my carpets or do a "deep clean" of the house it's for others.. nope just us this time!!! feels kinda good!
anyway I am so thankful this year for my family, for our health and for all of our great friends and family...
happy Thanksgiving everyone!
