Week 47

Welcome back and happy Tuesday!  I hope you all had a blessed Thanksgiving holiday. Last week was so nice for us with the boys home.  One week wasn't quite enough but they will be be back soon for winter break and get to stay for a whole month then.  We'll be counting the days and prepping the home so it's all decked out for Christmas when they return.

Until then here are last week's pictures:

Day 324- Monday, 11/20/23

Rusty is happy to have his napping buddy back.  Otherwise today was a day to get haircuts and preventative shots done.  Brandon was in dire need of a cut but Justin surprisingly got one just before he came home--first time in 4 years that happened so it was a nice surprise.  Sadly the colleges were not holding vaccine clinics on campus this year so they both need those especially since traveling frequently this peak flu and covid season.

Day 325- Tuesday, 11/21/23

We had Korean short ribs for dinner tonight, one of everyone's favorites and then we started binge watching Ahsoka with the boys as an evening activity through the week.

Day 326- Wednesday, 11/22/23

Today was a full on baking day in prep for tomorrow and also to have yummy treats to enjoy here and there for the week.  Poor Brandon--we haven't had too much time with him since he's had to work remotely a lot but thankfully after today he's off until next week.

Day 327- Thursday, 11/23/23

Happy Thanksgiving! - We had a nice little spread for a light lunch at home before heading to Lupe's family's house for a Thanksgiving feast.  We brought ham, cornbread stuffing and pies to share while they served tamales, pozole, turkey and pineapple upside-down cake.  It was all very good and a great opportunity for our younger boys finally meet her family.

Day 328- Friday, 11/24/23

Time to pack the pumpkins away for another year and sadly to send Brandon off on his flight back to school.  At least it was later in the day so we still had time with him before departure.

Day 329- Saturday, 11/25/23

Early today Justin headed back to school after getting one last cuddle with Rusty. Once the house was empty I was able to get out for a fresh cut and color.  It's great to have the boys home but also exhausting even with their help so it was nice to be able to get out of the house and do something for me.

Day 330- Sunday, 11/26/23

We're not fully decorating yet but at least we got the tree out and a few items we had handy in the garage.  I'll need Tyler's help before next weekend to pull the rest of the Christmas stuff out of the attic.

That's all folks!  Time to brace yourself for the next big holiday season in a new month.
