I have a sink full of dishes to do, vaccuming, washing and putting away laundry and the rest can wait 'til tomorrow because tonight is the night that Mike and I celebrate him getting a full-time job (with benefits!). I'm making bar-b-que chicken and pineapple kabobs on the grill, roasted red potatoes, savory butternut squash and bean side dish, and of course homemade mac-n-cheese (the totally fattening kind) because it's Mike's favorite. Sounds amazing! I hope it turns out as good as it sounds.
So far today I have made it to the post office to get one of Mike's Ebay sales out and I had a small victory today. I took Ava to get her 5 month pictures. As she's now 5 1/2 months that is a little hooray for me to finally get that done.
Here are some pics...
Ava eating some store bought (Grandma Aase's corn face - mom) pears.
Ava reading. This is what she was doing when I went to get her after a nap the other day!
Momo isn't sure what he thinks of Ava yet. But she sure loves him.
Look at the hilarious outfit Shawny picked out the other day when I was at Linda's. She looks like a flower child!

Anyway, I am really excited for Thanksgiving. I have been watching Food Network nonstop (almost - whenever Ava is sleeping and I have "me time"). I invited the Hilliard's (Dave, Linda, Tara, Preston, Shawny, and Hunter - and Bonny Hill) over for Thanksgiving dinner this year. Linda doesn't want to mess with it so she usually takes everyone to Branson to Dixie Stampede but before that, like maybe a couple days before, I am going all out! Whew... hope I'm ready for all that. I love to cook though so it will be so much fun.
I'm turning into my stepmother, she always used to make a HUGE spread for the holidays and here I am continuing that tradition. I love this time of year!
