This Thanksgiving was a holiday of every plan falling through you can imagine.

Plan #1 of going to San Diego was canceled when all three of my men shared the same sinus infection.

Plan #2: Cook turkey at home. Plan failed when I sliced half my thumb pad off on this weapon of a kitchen tool. Sounds minor, right? Suck it up and slap on a bandaid! Literally, there’s no more thumb print…completely gone. (Hope my paroll officer doesn’t need my prints anytime soon).
Plan #3: Crash sister-in-law’s, sister-in-law’s Thanksgiving invitation an hour before dinner. Tacky. Couldn’t do it. Plus, bloody thumb, not so appetizing.

Plan #4: Thanksgiving at the J.W. Marriot. Saa-weeet! I’m wondering if my boys even tasted the meal with their poor congested noses. As you can see it didn’t stop ’em.

Despite the chaos I am so very thankful for these wonderful men.

Watching the hawks soar was a perfect end to a slightly imperfect day.

We out!

  2. Oh man! I took my index finger tip off about a year ago on a mandoline. Super gross, I actually stuck it back on and bandaged it and it actually healed quite well. But it hurts, doesn’t it? Glad to hear things turned around in the end!

  4. I LOVE YOUR HAIRCUT!!!! So cute, and it fits you so well! I hope this isn’t something old that I should’ve seen already, but even if it is, another complement never hurts, right? Beautiful photos of you and your family. That sucks about your finger–some of those injuries that are the smallest can hurt the most. You never realize how much you really USE your thumb until you can’t. Glad you were able to salvage the day. 🙂

  8. Oh my gosh, how cuutee is that last photo?!? Completely adorable! Ouch about the finger! Somehow stuff like that always happens to me too. Looks like you made a fab day out of it anyway!

  11. Oh, you poor thing! And finally, a picture of you. Hope your thumb is ok. So sorry for the ‘failed’ thanksgiving. Good thing your a fly by the seat of your pants kind of woman!

  12. OMG!!! Your little boy cracks me up!! Both of them do! I hope they are feeling better. We are planning a San Diego trip for Christmas….You should reschedule and go for Christmas!! xoxo

  13. All’s well that ends well, right? That Tucson winter weather leaves a green hew around my face. PS I’m losing my fingerprints too, but it’s old age taking them away….Yikes!

  14. OK – sorry to hear about your finger – the little guys are as cute as ever; give them each a big hug for me – been meaning to comment on your projects. I want to hire you to makeover my whole house!!!!!!!
    Great job and keep it up. You inspire me daily to check to see what you are up to next!

  15. i have heard so many casualties of those darn mandolins i am so sorry! that hurts!
    i am sure the boys didn’t miss a thing, not quite the fancy thanksgiving we all think of but i am sure it is one to remember!

  17. Ok…that picture of your little guy with his nose crinkled and his mouth wide open cracks me up! I had to go back and look at it a couple of times because if made me giggle. The photos were wonderful!

  18. This last picture here cracks me up! What a brilliantly, humorous picture! I am so having my 2 yr old do this at our next opportunity! Too funny! Love your blog!
