The Not-So-Fashionable Mom

Hi, friends!!!!  It's Thanksgiving week!!!!!!!!  So much to do, I'm kinda freaking out!!! We are hosting the traditional turkey meal on Thursday with my husband's side of the family.  Then on Sunday, we're hosting my side with a non-turkey meal (fried chicken from the famous Miller's Chicken in Athens, OH, and everyone is bringing a side, appetizer or dessert).  Wish me luck!!!!!!

So here is what I've been up to the past week....

This morning, I was working on all my lists: meal-planning, shopping, cleaning, and to-do!!!

I'm a huuuuuge chocolate lover.... and Jim knows it!  He brought this delicious chocolate cake/torte home to me after his late night work dinner:) 

Mason looks thrilled in this pic, doesn't he?!!!  His preschool had an open house event on Friday: 

The precious kiddos from my Sunday School class made these Thanksgiving tree crafts!  I got the idea from this Pinterest pin, and here is a downloadable version of mine. (I purchased the cute tree clipart from WincheasterLambourne on Etsy.)  The owl & pumpkin stickers are from Dollar Tree. 

OH MY GOODNESS, this was the horrific sight of our "dining room" on Saturday before I cleaned it in preparation for Thanksgiving. I still have a few more things to tidy up before I post an "after" pic!!!;) 

The kids loved jumping on the snowy trampoline!   

Have a great week, my friends!  Keep me posted on all your Thanksgiving plans and activities! I love hearing from you!
