Most people are probably over-stuffed and passed
out by now, but not us. We had a very mellow, low-key day today
with no real celebrations. In fact we had left-overs for dinner
:) We will have our big giant meal on Saturday with Alan’s
parents. I grew up with many nice Thanksgiving traditions that
I want to continue, so next year we’re going to have our own
little thing on Thursday. Both kids will be older and I think
it’s a good time to start. But today we just chilled, Alan did
some stuff around the house, I did some baking, Lex read
stories to Elmo and the new toybox in his snazzy PJs (see
photo) and Eve tried valiantly to crawl. A good day was had by
all. Hopefully everyone else can say the same.

We went to our local science museum yesterday
with Aunt Rosy. It was surprisingly quiet, which is how I like
it best. The kids had a blast. When it’s packed it’s really
noisy and Lex gets overwhelmed quickly and I loose him easily.
When it’s quiet he can run around and play with everything and
I can still see him — much more enjoyable for all of us!

Eve discovered herself in the mirror and spent
quite awhile talking to herself. Babies are so easily
entertained :) It will be fun when she’s moving and can explore
on her own, but for now I love having her close. Lex never
wants to play with me (*sniff*) so it’s nice to show Eve the
exhibits and play with her.
