I hope everyone had a good Thanksgiving.
Our Thanksgiving was very quiet. We stayed home this year. We spent the day missing Johnny. He spent it in Blaine with his girlfriend's family. I guess this is something that is coming with the kids leaving the nest, sigh. I did have to explain to Johnny though that he is suppose to call his mother on all high holidays or else he is not allowed to leave the house.
For once Liam was feeling a little bit better. We went out for dinner and to the movies. Maggie loved Thanskgiving. She was in hog heaven. She had a million different veggies for dinner. She had green beans for the first time. I am not sure what she liked more the green beans or the onions. Our plan was to take the family to dinner then to the movies. Maggie would sleep at the movies. You would think I would learn after 5 kids they are never going to do what you want. We went to see Enchanted. Maggie was enthralled and watched pretty much the entire movie. She did not nap at all on Thanksgiving. She ended up going to bed at 4:30 pm and not getting up until 7 am the next morning.
Mr. Liam is back to not feeling well again. Our brief respite was just that brief. It was funny at the movies. Liam has to have calories. Any calories. So we are ordering popcorn when Liam proclaims he just wants water. Liam loves water too bad it did not have calories. So John tells Liam no you have to have soda how about a sprite. Liam said no he just wants water. John says no you need soda so then they involve me ask your mother. So the 3 of us are arguing back and forth with John and I insisting Liam drink something with sugar in it and Liam saying no water was fine. I am sure the people around us thought we were the worst parents on the planet.
