Thanksgiving Break- Day 3

This Thanksgiving break has gone by so slow... but that's a good thing! So often our mini-vacations fly by, but this holiday weekend really feels like a long weekend!
EVEN THOUGH I WORKED LAST NIGHT!

Since I got the ultimate pleasure (NOT) in having to work Black Friday at WalMart... yes I know I am crazy for offering to work on my day off... anyways, since I worked overnight last night, I slept for a few hours of today. BUT, after my nap, we loaded up The Bunch to go to my mom's house. We had decided that since we went to Golden Corral for Thanksgiving, we would all make desserts and hang out together at my mom's house! That way, the adults could enjoy adult conversation while the kids played !! The food was yum... my mom made banana pudding and fruit salad; my MIL made a pumpkin cake; Tim and I didn't make anything since our fridge was already full of sweet goodies...so we took apple pie, Kahlua cake, and sweet potato pie!

We played my favorite card game while we were there: Phase 10!! LOVE this game... thanks to my college days in the dorm! We'd all sit in the lobby and play for hours! Good times... great memory! Anyways, my MIL won (boo), but it was still fun to play! Xander LOVED watching us "shovel" the deck (shuffle)!!

After mom's we came home and put the kids to bed... Tim and I ate our dinner! I had put a pork roast in the crockpot this morning before I went to bed... so it cooked ALL DAY long and was sooooo delicious! I shredded it all up and added some Sweet Baby Ray's BBQ sauce! Loved every single bite!

Now I am exhausted from the last 24 hours, so I am getting ready for bed.... hope your holiday weekend is going well!!

-------------------------------
P.S. I had to blog this ... I love how much the kids are picking up at church. Mainly Asher, but all of them randomly tell me things they have learned there. Recently, Asher wasn't being a very good eater at dinner. I told him, "you need to eat your food so you can grow big and strong."

His reply, "Well, at church, we sing a song that says if we read our bible and pray every day we'll grow... and if we don't we'll shrink!'

*it was almost like he was saying "I don't have to eat because church says I'll grow if I read my bible and pray! LOL... LOVE it!!
