Thanksgiving Day Prep


Lily helping me make homemade rolls!

Today I am prepping for Thanksgiving. I have my homemade rolls rising and will bake them in about 2 hours. I am cleaning the house (with the help of my awesome husband). I'm also starting to feel a bit tired, okay, exhausted. Being 36 weeks pregnant with a huge belly and chasing an almost two year old around is quite tiring. Lily is going through this phase of whining/crying when asking for things. Oh no! We must put a stop to this now. I told her today that when she whines/cries, I will be leaving the room until she can ask me nicely. It worked this morning, so perhaps she will learn soon that whining gets no where in this house!

Anyways...Thanksgiving tomorrow will be nice and simple. We have a simple menu and only my in-laws will be joining us. Had I been thinking ahead, I really would have preferred to go out to eat somewhere. I have almost never thought that would be fun to do on Thanksgiving. I normally enjoy all the cooking and family and friends coming over. It just seems a bit much this year. Thankfully, David enjoys cooking and will be doing most of it tomorrow. Thanks husband!

We had a whining issue too...I read somewhere to try whining back. You should have seen the look on Aryn's face! It didn't take long before she stopped, she HATED me whining at her. ;)

Hope you had a WONDERFUL warm Thansgiving.
