November 1st, the month of Thanksgiving. If you know me or have read here for a while, you know that Thanksgiving is my least favorite holiday. I don’t like the food and because of our jobs we have always had to work the day after. This year, however, I’m going to document what I’m grateful for everyday. I am hoping that by doing this I will be more of a Thanksgiving person. I still won’t like the food but that’s okay too.

Today Donny had off. This was only because he might not get another day off this week. We both tweaked out backs so it was a slower Sunday than normal, but the kids got off work and were home for dinner. I made tacos with homemade tortillas and refried beans. I don’t think we will every eat canned beans again.

Donny and I also got out for a walk with Penelope. The weather was absolutely perfect for a stroll. Penelope made happy chicken noises the whole way. I think she was sad that we didn’t get our walk in yesterday due to the rain and it being Halloween, so she was quite the happy hen today.

One of the best things was that I got all of the Halloween decorations packed up and put away. I just can’t have decorations out after the holiday is over. Christmas gets packed up the day after also. I wasn’t really feeling like doing it but i’m so happy I did.

It’s all nice and tidy back in the shed.

I got everything wiped down and the decor put back that had been packed away for the holiday.

I’m keeping my stereo, that normally goes on the sideboard, packed up until after Christmas. At least I think I will. It depends on how much I miss playing actual albums. Koda likes the extra lounging space.

This kitten is crazy and into everything. Good thing we love him.
