I am so thankful for Thanksgiving this year. I think this is the first year that Jeremy and I have all of the kids home for dinner. My kids are usually at their dad's house and the girls are usually with their mom. Our place was volunteered for the feast this year, which I am very excited about. Today I get to do all the cleaning and prepping for dinner.
Yesterday after school it was pouring down rain so the kids didn't get to play outside. I thought what a great time for the kids to get their rooms cleaned up. Oh my gosh! You would think that with all the bickering and arguments that I heard that I had asked them to give up their lives. The boys share a room and the girls share a room. Rachael went up stairs and got to work. Sometimes she enjoys cleaning her room. Now the boys are a whole other story. Cody never makes a mess and Dylan always has to clean the room by himself (coming from the boys, of course). I literally have to send them in one at a time and one thing at a time. So I sent Dylan in with a garbage bag to pick up the garbage. Next I asked Cody to pick up the dirty clothes that were everywhere. You should hear this kid throw at fit! So Dylan went in to pick up the dirty clothes. Now, all that should be left is the toys, right? Cody threw the biggest crying fit because he's not the one that plays with his toys. It's Dylan and Rachael that play with his toys.
Needless to say, the boys' room is still a mess today. They think that cramming everything under the table, under the beds and into the closet is cleaning their room. I give up. At least the rest of the house will be clean.

i wasn't crying.i shoudn't have to wast my time cleaning dylans mess.
And the argument continues! Ha Ha Ha.
Why is it that boys rooms are never clean? Ry does a pretty good job of making it appear his roo9m is clean, but if you look inside closets, and under beds, you will find most of whatever he didn’t feel like putting away. Got to pick your battles I guess. As long as his bed is made, I am happy.
Thanksgiving for us this year means the whole family will be home. It’s the first Thanksgiving in 3 years that the entire family will be here. I am so excited! We are having a turkey dinner on Saturday, so I am making Meatloaf (kind of a tradition on Thanksgiving Day for us because Dustin normally worked it and Ry was not with us)
Your house will look beautiful; enjoy your turkey day, and your family!
Happy Thanksgiving!
Amen, amen, amen. My kids can go in their rooms and cry and throw a fit for two hours straight and then I give them an ultimatum and BAM, they are done in five minutes. GRRRRR... I always wonder if it is worth it...
