- Three Weeks, Thanksgiving, and Tears.
It's been 3 weeks since all 12 elbows have been in the house. The 2 largest have been busy with R & R and TLC, and parental down time...well Apple has been here. She has been spending more time hanging out with her cool parents. On Friday when I got home from work and walked up the stairs I heard, "whoop, whoop, whooooo!" coming from her room. She was so excited I was here!!! She claims it was cause there was cute dogs on her computer...but I'll bet it was for me being home. It would be lame to admit she was so jazzed for my arrival, so she's covering.
I wrote about my struggles with her ADHD over on my other blog, Girled Cheese.
We had Thanksgiving dinner over at Ripley's folks. We took Rattaouille, and Stuffed Peppers. Yum. There was turkey, perogies, spinach salad, potatoes, stuffing, pumpkin pie...and tears. Papa Ripley is a kidder...sarcastic and buggin' someone all the time. Not to be taken seriously at all. But....when you're Al12, hormonal, and have a pimple which Papa points out during dessert, crying happens. All over the whip cream. Wouldn't be a family supper without a crying kid.
Today, the kids bathed and clipped Tony, helped me make Pumpkin Whoopie Pies (YUM!), watched Cake Boss marathon, and enjoyed a lazy Thanksgiving Monday long weekend at home.
I'm so thankful for our big, loving family!!
