Thanksgiving and Thanks-Helping

Caleb pealed a mountain of potatoes and not even one complaint!
I think he pretended it was a sword.  Then he whipped up a pumpkin pie!
He is amazing!

Ben and Aunt Pillsbury made the pie crust, Ben did do the fancy edge, and a dang good job too.

My CLEAN pantry.  If only we can keep it this  way.

 

So, Anthony rolled out the dough, painted butter
on the dough I helped him steer the pizza
cutter, and he rolled them up.  Not bad
for a 4 year old!

Our Thanksgiving Feast!  Yep, I still haven't finished painting. ;-)

Camera Timer+auto focus= great photo of the rolls,...they were good.

 
 Joseph loves the holes in olives.

Joseph's first tThanksgiving meal.

My big turkeys!  We made these hats & some place-mats at the library yesterday.  

We had a great 1st Thanksgiving in Little Rock!  The boys all helped me with the meal while James was at work this morning.  We are blessed with much and have grateful hearts.  Love ya'all!

Raining Elephants and Giraffes!

Did NOT get much sleep last night.  Lighting and thunder and WOW buckets of RAIN!
This is looking into our neighbor's new pool!  You can see by the high water line where the water was sometime in the night!

Zoom in to see the two different mud lines on the bottom of the fence.  That is how high the flash flood in our back yard was!

 Anyone for rafting?  There is some great white water here!  Usually this is a meadow!

 This is Otter Creek-by Elementry school.  Usually this is DRY!

Fun, fun, fun!  At least it is not SNOW!!!!  Oh and our temps are in the 70's!
