Ten for Tuesday

1. We had the kids over to the house for the Thanksgiving weekend. The kids only had a half day of school on Wednesday. I went to pick up the kids after work. The kids went with their mother to get Christmas pictures taken. I ended up waiting for about 30 minutes for them to return back home.

2. On Thanksgiving morning Frank and I woke up and I cleaned the house and also helped cooked dinner. I wanted to learn so I can hopefully cook Thanksgiving dinner in the future. I think I may have been in Frank's way but he seemed to cope with me looking over his shoulder. This year we cooked a turkey and a duck.

3. I ran to the store for some last minute items. Frank's guest started to arrive around 2pm and we ate dinner around 4pm. We had a good turn out and the dinner was delicious. I really enjoyed getting to visit with his family.

4. During dinner the flute on our fireplace accidently closed and all the smoke backed up into our condo. The smell from the smoke was terrible. We had to air out the place while we had our guest over. I hope it wasn't too cold to have the windows open. How embarrasing!

5. I decided this year to avoid the stores for Black Friday. I wanted to take it easy being pregnant and all.

6. On Friday I went over to a friend's house for a post Thanksgiving dinner. I took Sarah with me and left Frankie at home. Apparently he wasn't feeling too good. We watched Kung Fu Panda and played Skipbo.

7. On Saturday our friend Mike turned 31 years old and we went ice skating and went over to his girlfriend's house for cake and ice cream. We had a good turn out. I was definately more cautious while ice skating and didn't fall at all. We ended up playing Catch Phrase and Mad Gab.

8. I thought I had lost my new digital camera at the ice rink. We eventually found the camera in Frank's car on Monday. I was worried that I would need to replace the camera.

9. On Sunday we were invited over to dinner at the Roy's house. We had our 1st snowfall of the year. We still managed to travel out to their place. Afterwards we drove the kids home and than returned home safely. We only had about a 2-3 inch snowfall. Not too bad however I had to get used to cleaning my car off and trucking through the snowy roads. I was almost late to work on Monday. I'm going to have to leave earlier.

10. I'm starting my 19th week of pregnancy and starting to feel more aches and pains. I'm not sure if these are just growing pains or if I'm starting to feel the baby kick. I'll keep you posted.
