My Thanksgiving break was both fun and full of rest.  I used a couple of the days to just unplug and rest my brain.  The stress of dealing with a bus load of kids and daily traffic has a way of wearing on a person.  The break was a welcome one.

The food was plentiful and spending time with the kids was great too.

The grandsons all had colds and drippy noses.  Dayton is cutting molars so he's especially drippy.  Isn't he cute all snotty and red!???

Jacob loves girls and has a crush on one of Liz's girlfriends.  He also spent a lot of time with my son Tim's girlfriend Kristin on Thanksgiving day..  He's a smart boy, she can cook!

The boys came over Saturday night for a sleepover.  I have been helping an older lady and she had asked me to come over Saturday night for a couple of hours.  Mark stayed with the babies and even got them to put vicks on their throats.  Kept them from coughing all night! 

Sunday was a bit hairy as it's been freezing here, too cold to play at the park.

I only have three weeks until my Christmas break.  I have been packing in as many extra hours as possible.  Next week I have three extra trips. 

Still planning a trip to Florida over break....so far so good....

Hope you had a nice Thanksgiving.  I can't say we had any rest but it was nice to visit the family, although strained.  Hope you continue to survive the kids on the bus.  Dakota and Jacob are so cute!!  It is getting cold here too and I've been keeping mine inside.  They have lots to do here like homework and cleaning their rooms and watching Hannah Montana, LOL.  Hugs,
Lisa

Hi hon. I'm so glad you had a nice Thanksgiving; so glad you were able to get a break from your job. Your grandchildren are so cute..growing so fast though. Time truly does fly by, doesn't it? Our youngest's son's first child, Jennifer Joy will be two on Jan. 22. Seems like she was just born a short time ago. Crossing my fingers when it comes to Florida. Hope you're able to go. You take care of yourself. Love you dearly. We're doing okay, hon. a bit down due to the death of our sixteen year-old grandson, but okay.
Hugs, love and prayers.

Gosh, the boys are growing up SO fast.  They are just adorable!  So glad you had a restful Thanksgiving.  It's so nice to be able to step back from 'life' even for a few days to recharge and just relax.  

Hope your trip to Florida is wonderful and WARM.
Hugs, Kathy
