Happy Veteran’s Day! And thank you to all our brave men and women who have sacrificed and served our country 🇺🇸 !
I spent the weekend taking care of CC and Baby Boy while mom & dad went on a trip
Their other grandmother was recruited also
Good thing….
It took the two of us, tag teaming all day long, to care for 2 little itty bitty children…
We had to do a full load of laundry after just 24 hours… we changed diapers, got spit up on, mastered bubble baths and feeding squash to a 6 month old that wanted to put it in his ears…
I’ve never been so tired in my life!
It was non stop…and we made a lot of secret pacts, like don’t ever tell ….
But we laughed a lot, and groaned a little, and did a happy dance when a text came in saying they had safely landed and we’re on the way home…
And then I said a prayer for how thankful I am for my family, and the opportunity to care for these precious gifts called grandchildren…
And then, after a day of recovery, and a glass of wine or two
I got out some of my very favorite things to set the table
and called it Thankful Harvest, for all my many blessings
Thanksgiving is not only one day a year, it should be celebrated everyday…
With a grateful heart full of memories…

A peek behind the scenes if you’re interested…
Can I watch the iPad Gigi?
I didn’t do it Gigi!
Don’t mess with him CC!
1 day’s laundry
I managed to squeeze in 5 whole seconds of decorating- I found these pillows {deer and sweater} at Home Goods for DDs holiday decor, and just had to see how they’d look ~
I was totally thrilled when I saw her elegant centerpiece included CC’s paper plate owl
Sigh…
