The kids only have two days of school next week, and Thanksgiving is almost here. I’ve got my menu finalized, and I’ve gone through my pantry to see what I already have on hand. I can’t wait to get to cooking, and rolling out pies.

The house is coming along. I still have a bit to tidy up upstairs, but the downstairs is looking ready for guests. I am so excited for Thanksgiving to get here. I love spending time with my loved ones.

I hope to get the rest of the chores tackled this week before the boys are out of school. I think I’ll get the Turkey on Friday, and finish up the rest of the shopping on Monday. I hope to then avoid the stores (and crowds) until the following Tuesday. We’ll see what happens though, the kids are plowing through snacks right now.

What is on your “to do” list for Thanksgiving?
