Thanksgiving 2008

While I am here blogging I might as well say something about Thanksgiving. Gabe and family were at our house for 10 days. It was very hectic with all the boys. My house is not real spacious so I felt like we were on top of each other many times. The boys are able to go outside since we live at a dead end street and their dad was working across the street from my house. Thankfully I have many many inside and outside toys and of course I "had" to purchase more just to keep them happy. I also have 3 battery powered vehicles for them to drive around but unfortunately only one worked. So, Mark rode Asher around and then when Wesley came over and rode his bike Mark felt the peer pressure to ride his also. Thus leaving Asher to man the only working battery operated vehicle. I bought the boys rakes and shovels which kept Asher very busy. He would tell us every day "I need to wake the weaves." So when Paw Paw was home they "waked" together. He got to ride in the wheelbarrow with Paw Paw and had a grand time.

We have a tradition in our family that on Thanksgiving day the guys play baseball with a ball made of masking tape. I am not sure how this started. But it is funny to watch the guys try to pitch/hit/catch this homemade ball.
