Turkey Day

Thanksgiving is this week. You know, that American holiday where everyone goes to Grandma's house and eats too much food. The tradition started with the Pilgrims and was made a holiday by President Lincoln (actually it was considered a national day of Thanksgiving and then made an official holiday in 1941).

Well, we live far away from our families in Ohio (helloooo, family!) and we're spending our Turkey Day cooped up in the apartment with the kids. I'll probably decorate for Christmas or find some little crafty thing for the kids to do.

Since it's just us, I decided to ask the kids if they had any special requests for dinner on Thursday. I'm sorry I asked. Here's what they told me:

Boogers
Turkey legs stuffed with insects
Ground worms
Chocolate covered ants
Toenail stew

Oh and Caitlynn seriously asked me to make her a smoothie for Thanksgiving. Who has smoothies on Thanksgiving?

Anyone want to come over for dinner? We eat at 2:00.

AV -- Oooo...close. Caitlynn encouraged Miles on a few of these. She can be just as gross as him.

Your prize: I'll send you mashed up worm pie topped with marshmallows. My specialty.
