The day after Thanksgiving and I'm sitting here with the fireplace on, pooped from shopping from 7:50am on!
We had a very nice Thanksgiving yesterday, thankfully, Katja got better just in time to gorge herself on the meal :). She has been having her so manyest cold this season, very unlike her, who is normally rarely sick. But we think it may be the chance in schedule at school and the new school.
Rick cooked a great turkey meal. The turkey was so tender, it fell apart. He made sweet potatoes, mashed potatoes, stuffing and rolls with it and I got some side dishes at Fresh Fields, wild rice with cranberries, glazed carrots and another stuffing. It was delicious! And for dessert of course pumpkin pie. I've had to acquire a taste for sweet potatoes and pumpkin pie and I don't think Thanksgiving will ever be my favorite meal, but I did like it better this time.
My dad came over as well and he's driving north to visit my brother's family in Canada for the weekend. Hopefully, he won't encounter too much snow, as a storm is supposed to hit.
I took some really funny pictures of Brynna and Katinka, the dogs, while Rick was cleaning the turkey. You can just see the desire in their faces for a delicious piece of scrap meat ;).
Today Christine and I shopped till we dropped. We both needed outfits for the company Christmas parties and were successful. I also got my nieces and nephews Christmas outfits. Since my mother doesn't do those things I figure the aunt can.
Saskia also got a cute Christmas outfit and Katja Christmas pins. We had a great time, Christine and I and I was grateful for her opinion on what I tried on.
Kai and Saskia are going for a sleepover to friends tonight. It will be Saskia's first sleepover that's not at her grandparents house, so we'll see if she manages. The friend she's staying with tried last week here, but we had to call her parents to pick her up at 11pm. So, we're bracing ourselves, but then again, she may do fine.
Rick is taking Katja to the Eminem movie, 8 Mile. She is quite excited. It's rated R, but I figure they can talk about it. I'm too tired to join them, so I'll just be here and play games and watch tv.

I'm baaaaack :)! We got back from the Bahamas on Wednesday the 20th (blog: http://atlantis2002.blogspot.com) and Thursday and Friday I felt so tired and rundown, all I could think about was sleep.
It got a little better on Saturday and we went to see the Harry Potter movie, which the kids had been dying to see. It was a lot of fun and not as scary as I had thought, after reading all the warnings about that. That evening, Kai and Saskia had a sleepover here with their friends Michael and Laura. They were all allowed to put their shoes in front of the fireplace, so Sinterklaas could come and put something in it. My kids sang their traditional Sinterklaas song and taught Michael and Laura some of it.
Unfortunately for Saskia, who cried and cried afterwards, Laura didn't manage to pull her first sleepover off. Around 11pm she started crying for her mommy and daddy and after some tries to get her to calm down and go to sleep, we called her parents, who thankfully live close by, to pick her up. She came back the next morning for her shoe gift.
On Sunday, Rick and I took care of all the leaves in the yard. I raked the front yard, while he started on the back. We filled 9 large plastic bags and there is a heap on the curb! Incredible how many leaves come off those trees!
Wednesday the 20th was Rick's birthday and since that was our travel day back from the Bahamas, we hadn't really celebrated yet. His request was to see the James Bond movie, Die Another Day and then go to a steakhouse. Poor Saskia was not too fond of the movie, but the rest of us loved it! It's action packed and has many typical Bond ingredients, but is different enough to enjoy.
Then we dropped Katja at home, who had several homework projects due and went to eat a nice steak dinner (we brought Katja one home, in case anyone thought us ogres).
Today I went in for my workout and this afternoon again felt so fatigued, plus Saskia had a headache and Katja complained of a very sore throat, so I hope we're not all coming down with something!
