My Girls, Thanksgiving and Funny Face Day, Practicing With Flowers

Friday after the big over stuff, gobble till

you Wobbled day, the girls and I crashed.

It was cold, I was worn out, so 

we pretty much hugged the couch for the day.

They were so into it that it

did not bother them to be this close.

Or should I say that Lily did not 

mind it! I love when the temps turn 

off colder cause Lily Bit seems to need

the warmth of the back of Mom's legs.

I love this view, seems to make Lily look

like she has the longest legs!

Don't get me wrong, she is a slender, 

long legged girl but not as long as they '

look in this pic!

I am hoping that you all had a great 

turkey day. Personally, I don't care for turkey,

I like ham so I always pick up a spiral cut

ham for the big event.

I also make sure that I get a can of 

this...

• ⇣⇣⇣⇣⇣⇣⇣⇣⇣⇣⇣⇣

You see I purchase a can just for me, 

I love it, but I am the only one that eats it.

DJ refers to it as "OLD people" food.

However, image my surprise what Boog, 7 yrs 

old started eating it. He loved it. One point, after

dinner I look over and he is eating a slice like a cookie.

YOU GO BOY!!!

Me being one of the best photographers

around (😂😂), I failed to take a pic

of the whole spread.

WHAT? Yep, I was just hungry.

But Amber out did herself again.

However, when I was not stuffing my face, 

which consisted of a spoonful of everything, 

yep, seriously, I don't eat much, I did snap

some pics. 

Here is Boog talking to Amber, 

his Nini. You know, when you start mixing

generations, and kids that have other

grannies, and gramps, more than the 

normal 2 per relative side, you have to come

up with interesting names. 

So, this is Boog talking to Nini.

Of course Emmy Lou (dog) is looking on,

cause she is afraid a piece of food will 

drop and she will miss it.

Again, its about the food.

Little Ms. Sassy talking to Paw paw, 

Pe Paw, Gramps....I don't know.

Official day to start thinking

of Christmas, trees and decor.

I thought about it, but still have not 

managed to get it up.

Anyway, after the stuffing (that is the stuffing of 

each of us) the kids and I almost literally laid out on 

the couch, but we had to save room for others...

DARN, a good nap would have been 

nice.

Since we could not nap, we decided it was a 

good day for "silly pic day".

Oh my gosh, I do something and they have to 

follow Nana Pam.

LOL

Even got Pe Paw (oops) I think it is 

actually Pa Paw in the act also.

He needs training on what a silly face is.

However, Caleb my first born bratty

grand, that I helped raise till he was six,

almost has the right idea.

 Even Amber, having been raised her whole

life by 

ME, needs work.

Sweet littlest Kyler, he has lots of time

for Nana Pam to teach him how it is done.

Emmy Lou have the right idea.

2.5 months old and he is so tiny.

He has issues with allergies to the milk

so they had to try other things. He is doing

better on it now, and he is filling out.

He fought sleep, but not in a crying way, he 

would just wiggle to keep himself awake. 

Course, it don't help due to the milk issue. that 

we have to keep him in an UP position for 

30 mins after he sucks down the bottle.

That is really ok, cause Nana Pam 

has no issues loving on him while he

sits up for 40 mins.

Now, seriously, how sweet is this pic?

And this pic.

The other greats were not there, Hannah (mom)

was hanging with her family, watching over

her great granny, who past on Friday. They

wanted as much time with her as they

could get.

Also, Wil's boys were not there cause their

mom had dinner the same time.

Last few days, I have been playing around

with flowers. I have been watching painting

videos and teaching myself to paint different

flowers.

There are some different styles of painitng

out there that is pretty new I think. Loading the 

brush with several colors and using different ways 

of turning your brush to get some neat results.

I can't do it. 

You read that correct. 

I am having issues learning to do a 

stroke and then turn the brush in movement

to get another look. Of loading the brush with 

two to three different colors to get what you 

want on one stroke and not having to 

layer on your colors.

I like that, but I can't get it to 

so what the video does, plus, 

imbedded in my mind, that is not the 

way you paint.

Painting is buliding your colors

on top of each other for the look

you want. 

So, with that said, I will conti to 

paint the way I was taught.

My teach would be proud.

But on the videos I can learn the 

flowers they are painting but paint

them the way I know.

I jumped off playing on paper and 

tried a board.

What do you think?

Oh yeah, almost forgot tell you that I pulled out of the 

craft fair that I worked so hard on for weeks.

The temps tuned off cold and I knew my body would not

be able to stay out in that. Oh, if I failed to tell you,

cause I got in late, my booth was going to be outside.

And since I have been dealing with some 

butt kicking pain of late, I decided it would be best

not to be sitting out in the cold. 

I will pack up my stuff and wait for next yr, 

in hopes I apply early and get a booth inside.

With that said, I sure hope you are a great time

with family and or friends and that 

Gobbled, ang Gobbled and had to wobble home!
