A day in the life of..

Tyler was loving Thanksgiving break this year! Monday he spent the day with Papa and Nita, he really knows how to work those two. He always gets them to feed him whatever he wants. (This pretty much consists of pretzels and pop tarts.) He played video games until he couldn't play any more. Tuesday, he spent the day with Deborah and there is another person he knows how to work. She took him to the store to buy him a toy and took him to see her new house. Oh yeah, and she told him about Hanukkah and now he wants to be Jewish. GREAT! I hope he doesn't go back to school and tell his teacher. God bless Deborah, she tries so hard to be in Tyler's good graces. She finally did it. Last Friday he brought home all his Thanksgiving art projects and one thing was this collage of all the things that he is Thankful for and at the bottom he wrote a whole thing about that. He wrote how he was thankful for mom, dad, his house, boy scouts, his teacher and at the end he wrote that he was thankful for Deborah too. Of course I called her and told her right away. I think she may have cried. She hates Matt because he does nothing and Tyler loves him, and she buys Tyler a bike and he could care less. But, he is finally coming around. He told her the other day that he really loves her. And, it helps that he is mad at Matt for making him watch a scary movie! Wednesday, he stayed over at Kyles house. Better Jodi, than me! I would have killed those two. They get so hyper and loud together! When I picked Tyler up after work, he had lost his voice. He sounds so funny. I told him he must have been screaming all day to lose his voice. Crazy. For Thanksgiving, we had the whole clan over for our 1st Thanksgiving in our house. Mike's sister Lisanne and her husband Bryce came from Canada with their new baby Anelise. She is so cute. Tyler wanted NOTHING to do with her. I was actually shocked because he always tells me he wants me to have a baby so that he can have a brother or a sister. I then tell him to call his dad. I think Scott should supply the brother or sister, not me! (Actually I pray Scott does not reproduce any time soon.) : ) Anyway, he really wasn't into the baby. Mike's mom, Elizabeth came over, my dad and Nita, and Nita's son Dusty and his girlfriend Jade. It was a fun time. I cooked like no other! I know, I know you are having a hard time believing this, but it is true! I was being Betty Crocker. Everything turned out good too. Some things not very pretty, but still good. My mom and Tabor came in last night at about 8, so we got all kinds of family around! It was a good time. Tyler is going to get my mom to take him shopping today. That should be interesting. When I left for work at about 8, he was already getting dressed and ready to go. The lengths he would go to get toys are unbelieveable!
