“I would get it from HEB and come home with it and leave the plastic on it. I would bake it in the oven on hot, hot, hot for I think when my mom bakes, she does like 20 minutes or 10. Then I put it on the table and I eat it with vegetables and fruit and after I eat stuff I have dessert but I don’t really want it.”
Sounds yummy…don’t you think? I think the plastic will give it a unique flavor. :) Every year Mackenzie’s kindergarten teacher asks each student How to cook a Thanksgiving Turkey? and then she sends their answers home. Pretty funny stuff!
I’m making my first Turkey this year, but I think I am going to follow a slightly different recipe. ;)

My blog seems to center so much around my kids. It makes sense…I’m a stay at home mom…life with my kids is what I do…EVERYDAY.:) They make life fun, challenging, loud, exciting, etc… However, the BEST part of my day is when Galen walks through the door. When he walks in the door…then we are complete. Besides my relationship with the Lord, my marriage is my favorite part of my life. So today I just want to take a minute and tell Galen…
I love you.
You are my favorite.
Thank you for being my partner in everything.
Thank you for loving and serving our Lord.
You are the best!

**to my handful of blog readers…I challenge you to honor your husbands today…whether on your blog (if you have one), or with a card, or just tell him…I guarantee it will make his day. :)

As Mackenzie explains it..”Tomorrow is my real birthday, but today is my school birthday and I get to take cupcakes.” She was pretty excited to share them with her classmates and she even got to share them with the principal and assistant principal. :) Her cousin Isabella is coming from Houston to help us celebrate. I think she is going to have a pretty good weekend.

- Celebration brunch for our Women’s bible study on Wednesday. Wrapping up an awesome Fall…studying God’s word together
- Speaking at a local MOPS group (Fri). My topic…Hospitality. :)
- Mackenzie’s 6th birthday on Saturday. Small party…time with family.
- Baby shower on Sunday.
- Possibility of some new flooring for our living room going in this week. (Sooooo excited!)
- And because I have nothing else to do…I decided to start cleaning out/organizing every room in my house this week. What’s one more thing right??
…so if this blog is a little quiet, you’ll know why. :)

and three others to Houston this weekend. We are going to celebrate my niece’s birthday. The kids are so excited! Galen is headed to Nebraska today for a work event and then to see Nebraska play Oklahoma…to say he is excited is the understatement of the year. :) Have a great weekend…

Obi Wan Kenobi…
Snake Eyes…
and little Superman…
a fight broke out between Obi Wan and Snake Eyes :)…
But they decided to put their differences aside so they could go trick or treating. :)
Didn’t get any pictures of the actual trick or treating. Our small group from church hosted a Halloween outreach. We set up games and handed out candy, cupcakes, and nachos in front of our friends Layne and Kristin’s house. I ran one of the games while Galen took the kids to get their candy loot. :) Fun night…great memories for the kids.
