Ready, set, gobble

OK. It isn't just me, is it? Everyone I know seems to be scrambling for Thanksgiving. Maybe it's the unseasonably warm weather. Or that we still have Halloween candy. Or that Thanksgiving has become this poor, forgotten holiday smooshed between the two other "fun" ones? Heck, we're listening to Christmas music already.

Nevertheless, Thanksgiving remains my favorite holiday. No gifts. No rushing around. No yelling at the kids to hurry up, let's go. It's one day all about family and friends and food and giving thanks that we are fortunate to have one another.

But even I can't seem to get it together this year. I haven't baked, shopped or finished planning a menu.

And then I remembered this guy from last year and perhaps I just got inspired. Now I just have to summon the courage to hit the grocery store with two kids.
