Believe it or not, I was all set to update each and every day this week. I had my posts all planned out in my mind and everything! And then it happened…I got bit by the flu bug!! I was out of commission most of the day both Tuesday and Wednesday, but I am back in the swing of things today! Thank goodness! Let me just say I was REALLY sick! And although it didn’t stop Gentry from peeing her pants six times a day, the countless fights or messes, the kids knew something was very wrong when I started throwing up over and over again and yelled for Huntler to bring me the phone so we could call Daddy to come home and rescue them!! {I would say to rescue me, but I could take care of myself as long as the kids were taken care of!!}

I haven’t been that sick in a long time and I most certainly am not wanting to go there again any time soon! Yuck. I hate to even think about it! BUT…on the bright side, I am feeling better and got to enjoy a yummy Thanksgiving meal with my little family this afternoon!! 

And speaking of Thanksgiving dinner…

Here is my favorite little man enjoying a beater!! I made some strawberry jello and let the kids have the beaters when I was done! You can bet they were lovin’ that!!

And then there is the child who loves ALL food! We can BARELY get Huntler to eat enough to stay healthy and Gentry shovels it in!!

She looks so different in this one to me!! Don’t you think? She reminds me SO much of my niece here for some reason!! I am sure it is because her mouth is closed and that is such a rare thing for her!

So there is that! We watched the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade this morning while we were cooking and one of the kids totally got into it and the other did not. Any guesses? Huntler was absolutely NOT interested. At all. If it doesn’t have to do with trains, he could care less. But Gentry LOVED it!! “Mommy, let’s dance.” “Look Mommy. Look.” She was really into all of the music and the floats! I think Sesame Street and the Care Bears were her faves!! Silly, silly girl!

The original plan was to be setting up our tree right about now, but Chris has got his heart set on loading up the fam and heading out to a tree farm (yes, they have those here in the desert) tomorrow and cutting one down. We have always had a real one, but last year my parents gave us their very nice artificial one. It was a PAIN to set up and apparently Chris doesn’t want to do that again!! {So Mom, there is our answer from our chat this morning!!} Plus, he is just used to real ones. His grandparents had a Christmas tree farm the entire time he was growing up and it is something that is important to him. So anyway, I guess tomorrow we’ll venture out and see what happens!!

Before I got so sick on Tuesday, Gentry and I went out for a photo shoot in some citrus trees while Huntler was at school!! I have some really cute shots from that, but I’ll wait and share those in one of my next posts!!

Hope everyone is having a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday!! {This is where I would normally get all deep on  ya, but I am still not 100% yet and just not up for it!}
