Great Illness.
Great Guys
Great Job
and Great Wall
{the story of my life, since Wednesday evening}

I was completely swept off my feet by a very sudden illness early Wednesday night. I slept through Thanksgiving {can you believe it?} and missed it. Completely. My great family didn't miss a beat and picked up where I had left off. . .cooking a great turkey and all the fixins I didn't quite get to on Wednesday afternoon.

They even made potatoes and gravy. Gravy without lumps! They set the table. With placemats. They are my heroes.


Even with having to celebrate a guys only Thanksgiving, the older boys and their Dad had enough energy to get up before the sun on Friday morning to do some super shopping at their favorite farm-and-garden store and hardware store. And then they went grocery shopping and came home to make breakfast for everyone.
Do you know how much I love this crew?


They really are my heroes.



One more great before I wrap up in the greatness of a Sunday afternoon, the first Sunday of advent. . .
The Great Wall with a K'nex flair.








So happy with their attention to detail, being wider at the base than the top. Since we couldn't figure out how to make a mountainous terrain the boys were at a loss of how to make some of the steps on the wall high {thanks for the input, Lesley!}. . .but had a great time planning and executing this project.


The length of our wall? Two-and-a-half Rylands long.
