This weekend we had our thanksgiving dinner together at Mom and Dad Mendes' house. The meal was amazing, as is now tradition- with Jeff's Italian meatballs and pasta, Rachael's turkey sausage stuffing, Natalie's creamy cheesey green bean casserole, Cynthia's twice baked potatoes and the best turkey I've ever eaten... Mom's BOMB-(layered chocolate cake, snickers bars, chocolate pudding, and whipped cream) and my homemade pies... and so much more that I don't have time to record...
We ate our feast, and spent a few hours enjoying being together, watching Rachael and Jeff's wedding video- which was awesome- and laughing together at all the funny parts- Daniel's crazy dance moves, Dad Mendes' dance moves... and then there was the play-do.
Carson and Francesca had been having a great time together, they love being around each other so much. they opened gifts from Rachael and Jeff, and one of the gifts was a set of play-do. Francesca decided to make a doughnut, and Carson -for whatever reason, or possibly for no reason at all- decided to make a snake. not any snake, actually, but a one-eyed snake. we all looked at each other for a second, and then burst out laughing. Francesca's dad points out that all snakes have two eyes, and if she ever meets one with less than two she should run. then he makes her a teddy bear out of play-do. our little artists kept on playing, and both ended up with great works of art. we ended up with cramps from laughing so hard.
*everyone in my household denies ever teaching my son about one-eyed snakes. this matter is still under investigation.
