Holiday Chaos

So, I take it that "The Holidays" are now upon us. I ran out into town today to run a few errands and WOW, can you say major traffic jam. Everywhere I went there was no parking and there were cars and people everywhere.
Thanksgiving is just a few days away and we will be braving the dreaded traffic to go down and visit with family. I thought I would be getting out of cooking a Thanksgiving dinner, but boy was I wrong. We have a friend Dave who is a single sailor and he has been eating Thanksgiving dinner with us for as long as we can remember. Well, since we have been here I guess I should say. He was shocked when I said we weren't cooking dinner and he couldn't come over! LOL. So, Mark thought that we couldn't leave him hanging, so he said that I would make him a dinner!!! Can you believe that? Men and the things they say and volunteer their wives to do. haha. Actually I don't mind at all. So, tomorrow I will be cooking a Thanksgiving dinner for his co-workers. How nice of me right? They better be thankful. :)
Tonight I will bake some cookies for them too. He has a friend who is constantly requesting that I bake snicker doodles for her. She mentioned that her birthday is on the 26th, and that's what she wants as a gift. Its funny how people just assume that you will give them a gift. Actually she is a really nice lady and she always appreciates the cookies and goodies I send with Mark. Gosh, I'm such a great wife....right? :D
So amongst all other things Austyn has decided tonight that he no longer wishes to eat pizza. He has a good reason for a 2 1/2 year old. He says that he doesn't want to eat his pizza because there is blood on it! He thinks that the pizza sauce is blood. I explained to him about a million and one times that it is sauce, kind of like ketchup. He still refused. He wiped off most of the sauce and nitpicked around the so-called blood. He's hilarious.
That about sums it up for today.
