Happy Thanksgiving

This has been a great weekend. But, like all weekends, it goes by way too fast!! We spent Thanksgiving with my family. When we got married, we though we would trade off every year between our families, but so far, we have done Christmas with Josh's family every year and Thanksgiving with mine. On Friday, Josh had to work, so Porter and I put up the Christmas tree and decorations. On Saturday, we went to dinner with our friends Erin and Sam and her parents. We went to Temple Square after to see the lights. It was very nice and Porter did great, even though it was cold and he was tired. We all had a great time.

Today was busy! Josh's cousin, Nick, came home from his mission on Wednesday and today was his homecoming talk. We went to that and then to his family's house for lunch. Afterwards, we went over to Jake and Steph's (Josh's brother and his wife) new house. They moved in yesterday and are still in a disary. So, we went to their house to help them. Yes, I am jealous and want to move . . . But that is besides the point.

Porter ran up and down their stairs for about an hour. He loved it. Then, he began trying to plug the cord into the socket and was yelled at by a very scared Jake. Porter had some sparks at the socket and he cried for a good five minutes from being yelled at. Then, he stuck his finger into anothe socket and was yelled at by Stephanie. Another five min. cry session. Where was his mother? you might ask. I was washing dishes. However, I found this picture a good one since after being yelled at, he accidentally bit his tongue. He didn't stop crying from that until we got home and put a bottle in his mouth and put him to bed. I checked his tongue. It had a tiny bit of blood, but he is fine.

Runny Nose

Porter has a cold. His nose is so full of boogers that when he breathes out of his nose, he gets snot bubbles. I try to keep it wiped, but that enduces screaming, hitting and kicking.

Yesterday, I had Veterans Day off from work. My mom came down and helped me clean out our laundry room. It was gross. Last night I dreampt that we were cleaning and found a little nest of baby mice. I swept them into my dust pan and dumped them into the trash.
