An unexpected Thanksgiving


It was Wednesday morning and we had already begun the packing frenzy before heading to Spokane to spend time with family. That's before I woke up...
On Sunday, my left ear was bothering me a lot and we made a last minute trip to the doctor to get some drop antibiotics. Sure enough, my right ear got jealous and made it know to Maman by sending ugly smell signals on Wednesday morning. Another trip to the doctor for oral antibiotics this time.
We sure felt bad for Aunt Gail who spent so much time planning and cooking but we decided that a trip away from home would not be too good. Despite missing out on family fun, it's a good thing we did not go since I also starting coughing pretty bad. Let's say that my sleep pattern has been less than stellar ( even less than before, which says a lot) and once again, we all did not get the rest we needed.
Papa ended up preparing quite a delicious feast for us and, although my appetite has been on the decline, I must say that those cashew and ginger green beans were my favorite.
After we filled up with food and wine, well ok, after THEY filled up with wine, we decided to do a photo session to have a family pic to send to Grandma who was hoping for one.
We certainly were silly but luckily there is one good one of us.

In between boots of silliness, cough and sleep, it was also puzzle mania at home this week-end. It turns out that during parent-teacher conference I fooled my teacher into believing that I could do only 10 piece puzzles. When Maman said that, I had to go grab one puzzle after another and made them all in record time. Of course, I was making the 48 piece one without a problem.
But, hey, I am not ready to let my teacher know about that... he would make me actually work and I have too much to do playing as it is.
Here is a little video for you...
