what's for Thanksgiving?

-
Tonight some friends are having a Thanksgiving dinner. We've been doing this for maybe the past 2 years, so I'm very excited. I'm going to make the pumpkin crisp again - it's so yummy.

However, I'm not feeling the best today so I'm hoping that I'll feel better in time to bake & eat.

Shoot, I just remembered that I needed to buy the french onion things for green bean casserole...darn it. Back to the store.

BUT on Saturday I'm making chocolate cheesecake.

What are YOU making for Thanksgiving celebrations??

I'm "making" my mom cook! LOL Just kidding. Sort of.
I'm not much of a kitchen person and my mom LOVES cooking so I am her sous chef. I'm looking forward to her homemade tortillas and rice stuffing! Yum!
Happy Thanksgiving!

I.LOVE.THANKSGIVING.
It's my favorite holiday. I love cooking all that food and I love eating all that food!
We are going to MIL's to eat at noon, then we will eat again at home that evening so I'm cooking the whole shabang! I have to cook Thanksgiving Dinner, even if we do go somewhere else.
We'll have turkey, dressing, mashed taters, gravy, green beans, sweet potato casserole, home made bread, collard greens, corn and cranberry sauce. Sounds good, don't it?!

MOB Society: Bragging on Boys

-

Like my friend Erin shared in her "bragging" post, I don't necessarily want to "brag" about my boys but I am overjoyed at some of their accomplishments recently! So I will share with you! Moose is doing wonderfully at school. We moved him to the afternoon classroom and his teacher said that his behavior problems that they saw in the morning have virtually disappeared. Great! Twice last week (once at school and once at Sunday School) his teachers told me that he shared with someone. What a sigh of relief that one is; sharing is so hard but to know that what I'm implementing at home is working (even the itsy bitsiest bit!) is a relief.  I've noticed that baby toys are most enjoyed by the older crowd. Moose is also reading! I got the sight word list that kindergarteners start off with from his teacher - he read them all for me this morning. I bought a Chuggington book for him on their last book order - he read it by himself after only having it read

Greater (movie review)

Sports movies are some of my favorite ones; even better if they are underdog stories! "Greater" is just that - a true underdog story about Brandon Bulsworth who could be called the greatest walk-on in the history of college football. The movie follows Bulsworth from the time he's a kid. His mother is raising he and his brother (who is quite a bit older; old enough to be mistaken for his dad, laughably). His brother gives him a kick in the pants when Brandon claims he wants to play for the Arkansas Razorbacks. Brandon was a heavy kid so no one really thought it would happen. However, Brandon worked as hard as he could and made it. Walked on the team and caught the attention of his coach who put some amazing work into this kid to help him become better. I love when coaches look at the heart of a player more than ability. This really is an amazing story, an amazing movie - full of inspiration and encouragement. Things that seem impossible become possible. The rea

Big A is forever telling me to not say certain things on the road. Don't call me dear. Don't gasp or shout; I'll think there's a deer. Although these are paraphrased (and he claims he's never said the first one), these are the basis for this tale. We went to the Husker game last night. Scratch that - we worked at the Husker game last night. We helped his aunt (and her church) sell backrests as a fundraiser. Big A has done this most of last year & all of this year so far. He loves it. You sell backrests until kickoff, then you watch the game, and pick up the rests after. You're there 90 minutes before game time and for about an hour or so after the game. And you sometimes get leftover food (Runzas and hotdogs and popcorn - please fine out what a Runza is for those of you who aren't from Nebraska....it's so yummy!). Anyway...we went to the game & a few of our friends helped pick up the chairs voluntarily after so (with that help plus our amazing sp
