Rainy Day Fun
Rainy Day Fun- Five
Hello again Seattle Moms!
I apologize for not getting this up yesterday, car troubles kept us out most of the day, and exhaustion kept me in {and half asleep} for the night.
Thanksgiving is this Thursday! I love food, but more than any other ever made, anywhere- I love my mother’s food. We have such a smorgasbord; traditional turkey {though we will be attempting to fry it this year} ham smothered in Coca Cola and Brown Sugar, Baked mac and cheese with so much cheese there’s little room for noodles, Arroz con Gandules {what is a Puerto Rican get together without this dish?}, mashed potatoes, gravy, spicy sweet collard greens… and that’s barely half of the list.
Our Thanksgivings are full of chaos, every year there’s a new little one to add to the table, in addition to all of us. Some take their positions in front of the television; arguing over crime drama or football, others run amok, and the rest of us find ourselves in the kitchen, listening to music and laughing about something from our past, crying over old baby blankets lost, and- in my case; trying to cook {and for the others in the kitchen; laughing at my pathetic attempts and saving me from complete humiliation}.
There is always a lot of laughter, and there’s bound to be a child who breaks free of a diaper and runs naked throughout the house. I both dread, and look forward to this day with my family.
So, tell me about yours! Is Thanksgiving at your house, or someone else’s? What’s on the menu? Do you have any traditions? And, finally, what are you thankful for?
There are no rules, just grab that button and play along! When you’re done, come back here and leave a link behind. I’ll be sure to thank you!! 
Have fun!!!

I’m having Thanksgiving, and there is a raw 19-pound turkey hogging all the space in my refrigerator to prove it!
But seriously, I love this holiday simply for the fact that our family gets together and celebrates each other and how thankful we are to breathe the same air. That about sums it up — well, that and my Dad’s mashed potatoes!
