We took the week off from formal lesson plans.\u2020 Thank goodness we did because I got a sinus infection and was pretty much useless all week!<\/span><\/p>\n

Kei cooked dinner one night all by herself.\u2020 She wouldn’t even let me come into the kitchen.\u2020 She made baked chicken breasts with ginger marinade, pasta with spinach and green peppers with a cream sauce and cheese bread.\u2020 It was wonderful and she was so proud of herself.\u2020 I was proud of her too.<\/span><\/p>\n

We watched a lot of TV, Gilmore Girls [our favorite show in the world], finished season 8 of Monk, watched Charlie Brown Thanksgiving, watched Pirates of the Caribbean [with my future son-in-law Johnny Depp], rented Grown-Ups which was silly but kinda cute, and the new Karate Kid.\u2020 Then Kei had to practice what she just watched.<\/span><\/p>\n

Kei and I played with clay.\u2020 We started out with an Indian village, then switched to clay fairies, then to Santa’s village.<\/span><\/p>\n

Kei played Webkinz a lot.\u2020 She loves Webkinz and plays daily for a week or so, then not for a month.\u2020\u2020 She decorates and re-decorates her rooms.\u2020 She wants so badly for me to get a Webkinz so I can play with her.\u2020 I am thinking that is what she will get me for Christmas. \ud83d\ude42<\/span><\/p>\n

We spent Thanksgiving Day with Daddy and Marlene, Eddie, Heather, Seth and Katherine.\u2020 My head hurt so badly I couldn’t really enjoy all the delicious food.\u2020 :\/\u2020 We brought leftovers home.<\/span><\/p>\n

We have so much to be thankful for.\u2020 Wonderful friends, both near and far, old and new.\u2020 A wonderful family, a lifestyle that we both adore, an amazing church family, a lovely house, a crazy dog and each other.<\/span><\/p>\n

Life is good.<\/span><\/p>\n

And it is almost DECEMBER!!!!\u2020\u2020 EEK!<\/span>
