What-What?! Week of November 27th

Happy after Thanksgiving!

We have really had the gamut this weekend -- we ate delicious food, played around a lot, stuff has been on fire, and now a kid has thrown up.  So that really covers all the possibilities.

The dinner!  Just us this year.  Lotsa food at the table, though. :)

Our pies.  The peach on the right has rabbits on it, because all I could find were Easter cookie cutters.  Still, the kids were excited about having a rabbit on top of their pie:


Other things I did this weekend was work on the car; I tightened all the fuel line hose clamps, because those tend to leak a bit when it's super cold.  Osric and I also cleaned the car's headlights, which were getting cloudy.  They are way prettier now:


That's it for this week.

What-What?! Week of November 29th

Happy weekend-after-Thanksgiving!

We've had our first Thanksgiving at our new house, which was immensely satisfying.  I am so thankful for all the help we've had getting here.
The spread, with waiting children.  They were super excited!
And I did a lot of cooking... actually, I should say that we did a lot of cooking, because the husband and I always cook Thanksgiving dinner together.

Dessert was pumpkin pie (not shown, looked like pumpkin pie), mini apple pies, and lemon tart things.  The pies were delicious!  I really liked being able to just pick up the apple pies and eat them out of hand.  I am going to do that again, for sure.  The lemon tarts were a disaster, because they fell apart and just needed help.  Next time will be different.  I already have a plan.  And a lot more lemon butter, too:
I still feel like I should've made a double batch, though.  The stuff is scrumptious.

Now, something that's not food... not food... Not?  Food?  Hm.

How about Legos?
Osric made all of these robots.  He builds robots all the time.  We had to clean them all off the dining table so there was enough space for Thanksgiving dinner.

In other news, my daughter has an extremely loose tooth, so today I'm sewing her a tooth pillow.  It'll be rabbit-shaped with some pink patchwork bits.  Will post a photo next week, for sure. :3
