sleepover hangover

Last night I hosted a pre-teen slumber party for the girls in my Sunday School class. I had my hair braided, judged lip synch routines and ate Doritos into the midnight hours. I am exhausted. And thankful for sons who hopefully come with a lot less drama when they reach this age...

This week author Kay Winters visited Harrison's school and had her autographed books available for purchase. If your little one is still talking about the recent election, you might want to add this to your collection!


Tomorrow Moms in Touch is preparing a spread of apple and pumpkin treats in the faculty lounge to wish the teachers and staff a happy Thanksgiving. I made Hilary's pumpkin dip and Melanie's pumpkin chocolate chip muffins. I feel like quite the Suzy homemaker these days trying all kinds of new recipes.

It's also the start of boot season here in PA, and I was due for a new pair. I made an exception and bought suede because I L-O-V-E these boots, they are super comfy and go with just about everything! Don't Padma's boots look gorgeous too! Who can believe that girl gets to eat for a living? Jealous.

more mashed potatoes please!

During Harrison's class trip to Bolton's Turkey Farm, we had the delightful opportunity to see the stomach, liver and heart of our future Thanksgiving meal. Which is why I think I might pass on the main course this year...
