Food out the ears

I think Allen and I have had enough turkey until next year. Our first year Thanksgiving as Mr. and Mrs. Harvey included 3 Thanksgiving dinners, plus Thanksgiving breakfast.

#1- Grandma Covington's (My mom's mom)

Allen and I were responsible for the green bean casserole and cranberry sauce. I only accounted for the people that are usually at family dinner not the extra people that were coming that day. Luckily gran had extra to double it. Of course, I double it and how much gets eaten? Less than HALF! Who is eating left over green bean casserole for the next week. This person. We remembered to bring the can or cranberry sauce but we forgot to get it out of the fridge. haha

Thanksgiving  Breakfast @ Grandma Covington's

Every year we go to grandmas, cook breakfast, and look at black friday ads. This year, my uncle, aunt and cousins were in but Allen decides he isn't going to go. He is going to stay in bed. 830 on the dot, at grandmas with a paper helping her cook. My dad comes in and what does he do? He breaks the tradition! He opens the paper before breakfast! 11 soon arrives and I am off to Thanksgiving #2.

#2- Nanny (Allen's Grandmother)

This time we were not responsible for anything. Nothing was burnt. We remembered the cranberry sauce with the rings. Turkey, mashed potatoes, sweet potato casserole, broccoli casserole, dressing. Eat, Clean up, Done. 

#3- Phillips (Dad's mom)

It seemed like before we were even done with #2 we were off to #3 and when they got there they were cleaning up. haha. Hope you weren't hungry? We had apple pie, pumpkin pie, and angel food cake covered in whipped cream. Gram is the best with dessert. 

I am done with Turkey. Time to get back to the gym.

Hat Lady

I am a lady of many hats. I am a student, a wife, a daughter, a sister, a clothes washer, a baby rocker, two year old tamer, teacher, cancer survivor, friend, baker, boo boo kisser, chemist, and many more. But one of my favorite hats that I get to wear is my teacher hat. Currently I teach 2 classes.

On Sunday mornings approximately from 10-12:30 you can find me in the two year old room at WOC. For seven years I have taught the same age and love it. I love getting the new little ones just after their 2nd birthday and love graduating those at their 3 year old mark. I get to love on them and teach them about Jesus and how much he loves them and then I get to send them home fully of goldfish and lemonade. YUM!

The other class I teach is my 7-12 year olds on Tuesday nights.  If you are bored and want something entertaining to do, come by, sit in and just listen. I love this group of kids. For the most part they are the same every week. So, the relationship we get to form as a class is so much fun. We do a craft and lesson every week. This month we are studying thanksgiving (considering it is November). This past Tuesday we made tambourines and talked about praising and thanking God through music. Each week will be themed around thanking God for what we have and have been blessed with. This group is neat to talk to. They are starting to form their own opinions about subjects. Learning what the bible really means and expanding on Jesus Loves me, made me and wants to be my friend forever.

As for Allen and I, we are great. Quickly approaching the 3 month mark and his birthday as well. We are only the same age for 11 weeks. Now that EYH (science and math conference for high school and middle school girls) is over school is beginning to pick up. Only 5 weeks left. Let the countdown begin.
