WOW! I can't believe this past week went by so fast! I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving . . . mine was good . . . and crazy! For the first time I had a bunch of people at MY house and I LOVED it!

My mom, brother (with his family), in-laws, niece and her daughter were all over and the place was ROCKING! Especially since 4 of the kids there were between the ages of 3-5. Throw in TWO conversations with my best friends (one of them being EXTREMELY drunk during the second conversation) and it was a very memorable weekend.

To top everything off, I think we've turned a corner with Kid #1. Last night I caught him and Kid #2 whispering about something. He told me it was about something they had being playing earlier in the day. I didn't believe him . . . but I held my tongue. About a half an hour later when I was tucking him in bed, he pulled out his game boy from under his stuffed animals and told me that was what he and his sister had been talking about. They had made a deal to play behind my back. I told him in a very calm voice, "I'm glad you told me." He kind of did a double take and asked, "You're not mad?" I told him I was just happy he decided to fess up before I found out about it on my own.

He got his first taste of what it felt like to do the right thing . . . and I think he liked it. I just pray it continues . . .

Okay . . . now that Thanksgiving is done . . . it's on to Christmas!
