Thanksgiving

Thanks to the multiple hurricanes of seasons past, our school board has worked some "weather days" into the school calendar. I'm not sure why they can't just tack on some days at the end of the year like they do in snowy areas. Since this was a quiet weather season, we have two extra days added to our Thanksgiving break which has given us six days off in a row. We don't go back to school until Tuesday!

We had a quiet T-day since Meme and Poppu were visiting the Seattle relatives. We did manage to cook up a mini feast for ourselves. On Friday we went to the beach to look for shells to use for making ornaments. Last night we trecked downtown to see the fireworks at the end of the boat parade. We couldn't see the boats because there were too many people, but the fireworks were awesome. Today we had another mini feast at Meme and Poppy's house. There is never a dull moment around here.

Throughout it all we've been playing games. Scrabble has been the new favorite diversion. I can't imagine why we haven't been playing for years considering all of the readers in the house. Other faves: Hilarium and Imaginiff.

Brad has to go back to work tomorrow, but don't worry. He's happy. A few days at home is all it takes to make him thankful for the relative quiet of the office.
