you won't hear me apologize for not doing it.
life is too short.
i have decided that the guilt alone keeps me from blogging.
speaking of guilt.....or lack of.....
i'm eating Doritos right now. actually i'm just starting in on my 5th handful.
i ate 3 cookies at 11:45 pm last night.
i had another one at midnight.
i haven't shaved my legs in 4 days.
i don't really like eating turkey, mashed potatoes and stuffing. gasp.
yesterday i took a tiny little piece on my plate just so i wouldn't have to admit i didn't actually eat turkey on Thanksgiving!
i don't know why i feel guilt that i prefer Ham over Turkey. how dumb is that??
oh, and i haven't been on the treadmill in a few weeks.
i
now that i have ALL THAT off my shoulders i can go on eating my Doritos guilt-free.
it's also been over a week since i added something to my 'thankful' list. please know, i am thankful. yesterday was a wonderful day of fellowship with the likkels (and a few others!). unexpected snowfall made for hours of fun for the kids. oh, and the big boys too.
we laughed much.
we are all healthy.
we were well fed.
we were thankful .
our cup runneth over.
it was a good day, remembering how GOOD & FAITHFUL God has been to our family this year.
the boys always love to have a part in the decorating for the festivities. of course, their mother didn't think about all the name place cards until late on Wednesday night. ugh. what could we pull together that would make it look like we gave it MUCH thought?
let's see.....
hhhmmmm....
PINECONES!!!!
in spite of the snow, we dug around, in the frigid weather and came up with 36 of um. i won't even mention all the little spiders and bugs that came in with them. oh wait, i just mentioned it. whatever.
jack wrote out all the names on card stock.
i (and beppe) tied them on with colorful ribbon.
wouldn't you know it, they turned out really cute.
problem averted.
max and jack also decided that the tables needed 'thankful verses'. so we Googled 'thankful' passages and wrote a few out for each table. great idea boys!!
sam contributed a 'i'm thankful for' list.....
my family
my fish
my coat
my room
my house
my alarm clock
my toliet (can't argue with THAT?)
my air soft guns
my DS
my ipod
my pellet gun
my friends
my teachers
my legos
my school
the snow
my bible
music
my snowpants
my gloves
my bed
and most of all, i am thankful for Jesus Christ and God and that He sent his only son to die for us and that Jesus went to heaven and took our sins with.

I just love those kinda posts...I too don't really care for the turk, mashed and stuffing...no guilt about blogging...I feel the same way!
I love your post...I don't like turkey either...now the Christmas countdown :)
who's giving you guilt about blogging? it couldn't be your sister that lives all the way across the country and doesn't get to see your kids and family...not that i'd put any guilt on you about not posting pictures of those precious children (pass this on to lisa!!) that, did i mention, i miss like crazy. so if you choose to not feel guilt...i hope you can live with yourself. just sayin'
oh, you are too stinking funny & adorable. Whenever you write I will read & whenever you don't write I will think of your poor sister missing your kids from so far away :-) Just kidding...your welcome Lori!
