Thanksgiving 2009

Thanksgiving was really laid back this year. We stayed at home and just celebrated as a family. The menu included: Turkey, mashed potatoes, gravy, green bean casserole, sweet potatoes, cranberry apple Jell-O, and stuffing. I am so thankful that my morning sickness has passed and that I enjoyed every single last bite of food. I ate more today than I have in a long time.

We (meaning me and my stomach) napped in the afternoon while Jade waxed his new car. We took the boys to see the new movie A Christmas Carol in the evening. It had some scary parts but the boys seemed unaffected. Jaxson was laughing and saying, "That's funny mom" every time a ghost would come on. Connor just asked me after the movie was over, "Mom, was that a kids movie?"

I have started buying packages of diapers every time I go to the the grocery store. I have them in Jaxson's closet and I found him playing in them the other night. I explained to him that the diapers are for the new baby that is coming. He said, "What baby?" And I said, "The baby that is growing in my belly" He got a HORRIFIED look on his face and said, "MOM! Did you eat a baby??" I forgot that Jaxson is learning in school right now that the food we eat goes into our belly. He likes to tell me after he eats what he ate and that it is now in his belly.
