We celebrated Canadian Thanksgiving with a very nice dinner and visit at Jim and Linda's.
Kaili made lemon meringue and pumpkin pies pretty-much on her own. I provided a little coaching and the crusts. She did very well, as the lemon pie can be daunting to a new cook.
While at J & L's we discovered that Linda has been playing hookie from blogland as she has discovered "Tetris" and is now hooked. I had to give her a hard time for throwing her friends over for a computer game. She also shared her new coloring with the female visitors. This new colorful version is due to her sojourn into the now filled-in hole. Kaili spent much of the evening calling Linda "Rainbow Bum".
After dinner, the kids did a great job of clean-up. They did this without being asked, no arguing and I don't think they even broke anything. It was a nice change from home. I tried to thank them, but I'm not sure they really get how much appreciated their efforts were.
I'm in for a few extra busy weeks with mid-terms and large projects.
