Thanksgiving preparation underway
***Warning***
Pardon the flour covered table. Excuse the persimmon pulp all over the place. Step over the cord for my stand mixer. That mixer and I have been working hard today. Two pies and a persimmon pudding later, I feel like I am in a good spot in my preparations for our special meal on Thursday. Turkey is thawing quite nicely in my refrigerator as we speak. Tomorrow I will tackle making rolls from scratch. Yes, another day of working the stand mixer. That thing is going to get its workout because I intend to do my potatoes in them too!
Tomo had a little bit of schoolwork to do yesterday, but he has the rest of the week free. He keeps telling me that he is glad he worked hard so he could have some extra days off school. I am proud of him and the hard work he puts in at school. Skyler is a bit behind where I would prefer him to be at this point, so Corey spent the day trying to keep him on track and focused but away from the house. Hopefully, tomorrow, we can get some god time from him, but it looks like he will have to return to the books on Friday instead of having a planned day off. I sure hope he has learned a thing or two the past week or two, because these life lessons are sometimes so hard to learn. Maya has been happily playing with Tomo. I like to see these two playing more and more lately.
Nothing to exciting today, just schoolwork and dessert making.
