Wow, Thanksgiving is this week! Are you ready for the big day? Last week was pretty busy for us and we weren't going to have a night available for a date. Lee and I went to the community center for a lunch date. We played pool, and ping-pong too. After arriving home we ate some leftover cheesecake from Young Women in Excellence.
In addition to lots of food prep, I have been getting the house ready too. The hall closet and computer desk were especially messy. I love the idea I found on some blogs (iheartorganizing and thirftydecorchic) to empty out the space, put back what you want and get rid of what you don't need. Too bad I didn't take a picture of the coat closet stuff on the ground. I was bewildered myself that so much stuff was on our little coat closet! This is of the computer desk clean-out.
I bought a new tube of caulking and did some of that last week. I also received a sweet letter from my niece!
One of the young women from church was in the play "School House Rocks". She and the whole cast did a great job. I took the girls with me and we made it a special date.
Later, after getting Lee and Clark (Cal and Elden too) from Scouts we all headed to Target. I bet you are SO surprised that there was a Frozen backdrop amongst all the Frozen merchandise clothing.
I have been thinking about painting this chair for awhile. I finally did it! Friday night I did the primer. I have one more coat of paint to go and it will be done!
I recently found out about placemat pillows. So cool! Here is the link if you're interested: http://thriftydecorchick.blogspot.com/2013/12/a-quick-and-easy-holiday-project.html
I bought this placemat from Target.
A bit of holiday decor! The pillow cost me a total of about $6.50!
We enjoyed going to the temple last Saturday. It was the 40th year of its dedication too!
Saturday afternoon I went shopping with my girls and three other nieces. It was fun having them come! I stocked up on holiday goodies at Trader Joe's...YUM!
It was so cute hearing them sing in the van together!
Haley took a picture of a robot that Cal built.
Sunday night Lee made lava cakes for ALL of us! Delicious. He made eight so Lee and I split one. Yummy!
And lastly, Cal volunteered to help Elden unload the dishwasher so he could play with him. So cute.
Have a wonderful Thanksgiving!
