Yes on tipping the mail carrier. We have a regular UPS guy who is great and we have a tough driveway — tipping him too.
Between that and all the teacher/coach/babysitter gifts we decided we can’t get the kids anything this year. Ha ha.
Someone above mentioned Batter Blaster. A friend gave me a can as a gift, for a lark. But then the stinkers found it and made a batch themselves and they were actually pretty good.
The older ones are apparently capable of feeding themselves now which means one step closer to ignoring them completely.
Kidding. Mostly.

Happy belated Thanksgiving! I am thankful for you Kelc. I never knew about tipping the mail person. . .

Wait, I’m supposed to tip my mail carrier? I always thought the cheap health insurance I help pay for through tax dollars was the tip.

Um, I think I need help with gratitude.

I’ve posted this elsewhere, too, but thought I’d share it here as well –

Things I am thankful for (at least for this weekend):

1. Friends (who invite us over for Thanksgiving every year; they do the bulk of the cooking, the kids have fun together, and there’s no traffic problems getting there or getting home)

2. Good weather (we live in California, and it was glorious on Thanksgiving day; we pay a lot for our real estate, but sometimes it’s worth it)

3. Lego (it keeps our little guy engaged and happy and creative for hours on end)

4. Books (they keep our oldest engaged and happy and creative for hours on end)

5. Our little neighborhood grocery store (no huge lines, no traffic getting in and out, and most items you need)

6. Leftovers

7. Batter Blaster (organic pancake batter in a spray can; the kids can make their own warm breakfast while we sleep in or read the paper; no giant mess left behind either)

8. Good movies on TV (the holidays always bring out the better programming)

9. Work (thankful my husband has it and we’re doing okay, as many others are not so fortunate; wishing them all well)

10. Each other (our boys and my husband make life great)

Happy Holidays to your entire family; lots of cup cakes/ice cream/goodies to eat. Lots of relatives and family to love and love back to. Good health and pleasant dreams. How grateful we all can be…

Hope it was a great day. My kids were thankful that they got to eat on the “pretty” plates. Maybe I make them eat on the plastic ones too much?

I can’t believe your neck ever looks fat in your holiday photo. But I know what you mean. I agree about Thanksgiving. I do love me some Christmas, but it’s become just so much work that it’s kind of stopped being fun. Sad, I guess.
