* We had our family pictures taken.
It’s always the most dreaded day of the year for Joe us.
You never know what kind of a mood my 3 yahoos will be in.
Proud to report…it was our easiest shoot yet.
Quick and painless.
Now…we just wait to see if any actually turned out.
{Smile}.
Did you know my sister is a photographer?
She is. And you can check out some of her work HERE.
* We were in the Mesa area so we dropped off the kiddos at Joe’s parents house and went on a date.
Dinner HERE.
They may just be my new go-to place for green corn tamales.
YUM-mMmY!
{Is anyone else excited that it’s officially TAMALE season here in AZ?}
* Slept in Saturday morning {bliss!} and then went out for donuts as a family to our very favorite donut joint.
Be still my beating heart.
Bosa donuts are THE BEST donuts in all of AZ.
{And you MUST go to their shop in Chandler. It is WAY better than the one in Mesa. I promise}.
*Visited my dad in the hospital.
{Even though Carson thinks hospitals are creepy}.
Dad is home now and doing much better!
We are blessed.
* Stopped by the mall that afternoon.
BIG mistake.
I officially refuse to go to ANY shopping mall on ANY Saturday from here clear through Christmas.
It. Was. A. Zoo!!!!
I HATE shopping when it’s packed.
{Unless of course it’s Black Friday. That is my exception!}
* Bike ride at sunset with my Cars-a-roo.
The weather here in Chandler is gorge-wah right now.
{That’s fancy term for gorgeous in my book!}
So refreshing. So fun.
*Spaghetti and Meatballs for dinner.
{It’s one of few meals where my kids will eat seconds and thirds}.
* Churchey Church.
* Relaxation in our jammies.
* Made pumpkin bread….sharing this recipe tomorrow!
It’s delish!!
Happy Thanksgiving Week!
Love your blog….here's a tip….. best tamales ever — Carolina's in downtown Phoenix, it is in the ghetto — only go during daylight. I sent my husband today for a dozen green corn — yumm! Have you had them?
I love your blog and appreciate all of your fun & creative ideas….I struggle and am creatively challenged. 🙂 Thank you for sharing so many of your ideas, thoughts and activities with so many of us. I can't wait for your pumpkin bread recipe…I'm thinking this will make a great gift for my YW Presidency. Happy Thanksgiving!! 🙂
