Hello and happy weekend to you! We’re less than a week away from Thanksgiving and I’m over here saying “Bring on the food!” Seriously, bring it on. I’m ready.
Let’s see, what’s new around here this week? Oh yes, I discovered a new favorite thing to do with Quinn: cook! Ok, so she doesn’t help with the cooking, but she sure does like to supervise. I give her a front row seat (highchair) to all the cooking action and she seems to love it! We listen to music and she watches with a grin on her face. She must think something is funny about the way I move in the kitchen because she giggles at random. I look forward to the day when we can cook together. 🙂
I didn’t take any pictures of our kitchen adventures, but here are a few of my favorite Quinn pics from the week:
On the agenda for this weekend is taking down some wallpaper in the guestroom. It should be a blast. I’m not being totally sarcastic, it will be nice to start some projects on the house now that we’ve been here for 2 months. We tore down the first layer of wallpaper quite easily, now it’s on to the second layer…
Doesn’t that look like fun?!
I hope you all have a great weekend! My favorite things from around the web this week include tons of Thanksgiving tips and recipes, please enjoy!
