Thanksgiving and Family Time

We had the BEST Thanksgiving.  I loved having everyone at my house and cooking a ton of food.  And I don't just mean on Thanksgiving day.  I cooked Wed, Thursday, Friday and Saturday for everyone!  We also did a lot of Black Friday shopping and we spend time at Red Brick Brewery.  My loverly parents are still here and will be with us for almost another week which is great.  On Monday we went to the World of Coke and had a lot of fun.

The Pioneer Woman

Yeah, Logan and I met Ree Drummond - The Pioneer Woman.  She is awesome!

From Scratch

I roasted 2 small pie pumpkins and made my own pumpkin puree.  I used most of it for pumpkin pies but I have a little bit left that could go into bread or muffins.  I need to make more puree this weekend so I am fully stocked for Thanksgiving!

Guest Bathroom Work

I am overdo on some posts but there will be 3-4 this week for all the stuff I have missed.  

Several weeks ago we got to work on our upstairs bathroom.  There was a leak from the toilet that had to be fixed and the bathtub faucet dripped.  We ended up having to take part of the shower wall off in order to stop the drip so it was much more involved than we thought it would be but it all got done in the end.  We want to do more in that bathroom eventually so we ended up  just getting a new toilet.  But we only got new (kinda ugly) handles for the bathtub because to get something nice looking we will have to redo the pipes and we just weren't ready for that.  

I helped, There was one point when Barrett couldn't get a bolt off and I did :) 

Old cream colored toilet gone, now there is a nice new white one but I didn't get an after picture
