Monday in Kansas City (Kids in School)

Practicing with Granny

Prepping for Dinner


We had a fun and relaxing Sunday, setting out for Costco about 11:00 to get our fix, picking up most of what we need for Thanksgiving. It's amazing how crowded Costco can be, everyone gathering food for Thanksgiving, presents for Christmas, and just anything that strikes their fancy.  I don't think we save much because we always end up buying something we had not planned on, it's just such a good deal!  Fortunately, we were able to pick up a present for Nick, something we had yet to do.
Hard at Work

Around 1:00,  Mary's parents came over and her Mom, Evie, Marlena and Evie went off to the local high school to watch their production of A Christmas Carol.  Tom and I went out to pick up a few things, then raked some leaves, and watched football on TV until the girls got back.  Evie and Mary started getting dinner ready, and Tom cooked salmon out on cedar planks, and we had sides of roasted potatoes, brussels sprouts and salad.

Costco Madness
Later, before bed, I quizzed Nick on his American history terms, a chronology of events leading up to the Revolutionary War.  He knew it really well and could explain things clearly and in detail.  He's a good boy, smart and hard working, just like his Baba!

Evie and Marlena having been working on her keyboarding skills, and she is getting excited about playing and even practicing.  I hope she keeps it up.

The adults watched The Good Wife, then we all went to bed by 10:30.
