Countdown Tag

Tara tagged me for this one last week.

TEN THINGS I DID THIS WEEKEND
1. Planned out our Thanksgiving meal and got most of my groceries. My family will be here on Thursday - there will be a total of 17 15 people!! Apparently, I can't count...and that includes me, T and the kids...so, 10 additional people, that sounds much better than 17! HA
2. T and I worked to clean the windows in our 2-story family room and foyer.
3. Wiped walls and woodwork in the family room and playroom.
4. Put away the summer decorations on my mantle.
5. Began playing around with my Christmas/Winter decorations for the mantle.
6. Went to Sunday School and church with my family (not a rare thing - we do it every weekend!)
7. Friday night we attended the closing program for the Fall Homeschool Co-op session.
8. Enjoyed seeing Quintin's Pre-K/K class say their verse and sing their colors song for the whole group (will post pictures Tuesday!)
9. I walked on the treadmill Saturday morning (I usually don't walk on the weekends)
10. As I was walking, I saw a deer outside at the woods - at first I thought it was a 3D archery target - then I remembered we don't have one of them, lol!

I think I will sit down and make a list after reading your adgenda. Thanksgiving/meal/house preparation can be crazy, but I enjoyed reading your thankful list. Your list reminded me of 2 things...making a thanksgiving tree with "E" and "E" ("A" is too little, all he'll tell me is Mama and Mmmmmm...), and that I need to start walking again (it is fun seeing the scale go down :). Way to Go! Congratulations!!!
