I love it.  <\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Thank you God, for making yourself so real!<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>My brother is coming for American Thanksgiving, so we get to do it all again! \ud83d\ude42  My kids love this!  2 Thanksgivings!<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>It was hard getting everyone back at it today.  Everyone was tired after having too much fun!<\/div>\n<div>We had gone to friend&#8217;s house for supper, enjoyed the lovely fall by going on a walk and hanging it.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>I was hoping for a Leaf Day (ya know, instead of a snow day&#8230; haha).<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>The younger 4 boys and I went off to the Norwood Fair yesterday morning.  OK, it was cold.<\/div>\n<div>Brrrr&#8230; but it was a lot of fun!  This was Josh&#8217;s first fair.  He was pretty taken by the whole thing.  When we were in the poultry barn, he walked around imitating one of his brothers&#8230; &#8220;I ate your cousin!&#8221; lol<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>I love going to the fair.  I am fascinated by watching the Fair People.  They are almost like Circus People.  What a life they must lead.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Halloween is next!  This year Sanj is gone to a conference.  Who plans these things?  And Hockey schedules?  Honestly!   Thankfully the church is having a Halloween Bash of sorts&#8230; so we can stay warm and be in one area.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Then Christmas!  Our Fundraising committee (which I am a part of  &#8230; yah!) is having a FUNdraiser with a trip to Vaughn Mills Mall (a really mall in the Toronto area)  and a stop at IKEA!  If you are interested&#8230; $25 gets you a seat  (Well, the first 55 shoppers with their money)!<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>So&#8230; here&#8217;s to getting Christmas shopping almost done before December!  I am so excited because I already know what I am getting Sanj!  I can&#8217;t tell you, of course, as he will likely read this &#8230; and feel ripped off!  lol<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Did I mention I am going to learn to knit?  lol  OK&#8230; attempt&#8230; although I have seen very young kids knitting , especially at the hockey rinks.  Sammy really wants a pair of knitted mitts.  So&#8230; my friend, Marsha, is going to teach me.  (Lord, please give her patience&#8230; lots of it).<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>OK&#8230; it is 5:51 p.m.  and I am stalling.  I went into the office today, so my house is a disaster zone, there is reading, memory work, spelling and baths.  Sanj and the older 2 are at hockey practice.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>So off I go&#8230; as I really had nothing much to say&#8230; but obviously plenty none the less!<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It was Turkey Day yesterday.
