I am morally and ethically against Black Friday. Any day that would prompt crazy women at Walmart to pepper spray people in line so she could advance herself... I am against. Unless I can get a great deal at Bomgaar's... count me out of the shopping insanity. So instead of going and fighting insanity, the girls decided they wanted to go to the gym. Kasey is still working on rehab-ing her hip from cross country so the girls mostly lifted weights while I did some cardio. It was fun.... and necessary to burn off some of those cheesy potatoes. :-)
We have somewhat of a tradition. Every year the girls help put up the Christmas tree the day after Thanksgiving.. So Mike brought the tree in and we proceeded to get it put up.
We used to have real Christmas trees but struggled with our tradition. We would get a real tree every year so the girls could decorate it but by the time Christmas got here, our tree was a serious fire hazard and the carpet had more needles on it than the tree did. So about 3 years ago, we succumbed and purchased an artificial tree. I have to admit, it is much easier but it doesn't smell near as good. :-)
So after the tree was up, Karley crashed. I think she needs to catch up on sleep she doesn't get during her normal life. With so many activities... I know she doesn't operate on much rest so Karl crashed on the floor for a couple hours.
Kasey, the hard worker that she is jumped right back into the homework like normal. She did have a couple of helpers.. :-)
It's been a nice visit with the girls. Tonight Kelsey and Brent will stop by to pick up the girls on their way to their Dad's Thanksgiving. It's always wonderful to have them here... Dora and Apple adore the girls as much as I do and we are always sad to see them leave.
