I LOVE Thanksgiving. It is my favorite holiday for a whole list of reasons: the colors, the food, the fact that it is only one day long, and most of all the food. Usually we pack up the kids and head to one side of the family or another to celebrate, but this year is different. This year WE are hosting. Generally speaking, I LOVE hosting gatherings (my husband claims it is because it is a chance for my "Field Marshal" personality to rise to the fore), but I will admit that putting on my first holiday dinner has me a bit nervous.
My son has apparently caught the fever as well, because he announced that his bedroom needs decorating - it just isn't Thanksgiving-y enough for guests to see. First, he decided to make a leaf banner.
He hung it above his closet. I thought it looked nice.
Then he decided one garland wasn't enough, and he drew up a plan (yes, a plan) of each wall in his room and added all the decor items he wanted to add.
He also recruited labor.
If the construction paper and tape and glue hold out, I think they will still be working as our guests arrive. Stay tuned - I'll try and get a picture when they do the official unveiling. Until then I am forced to pretend that I can't see anything every time I go in their rooms.
What am I doing to get ready for Thanksgiving? I prettied up this clipboard with washi tape to hold the lists of tasks I made for each day until THE day. If I can stay on track, maybe I can just pull this off!
Happy Thanksgiving, everyone. You probably won't hear from me again until it is over.

I laughed and laughed when "the recruited labor's" sweet little face scrolled onto my screen.
