Thanksgiving-- Skeans Style

Here goes our day....woke up at 6:40 am to rescue roll dough that left out all night -oops. Hurried to punch it down and refrig. for 1 1/2 hrs.. Then started organizing Turkey day when what was going in oven etc.. Whew! Now watch the macy's parade because that is what you do ...at least Kayla and me. yeah us. While cooking, baking, and watching parade better organize Christmas lights and trees etc.. Cause you know... gotta get the lights up. Kayla and gretchen took the task of checking lights while I scrimmaged for stuff and con't cooking and baking and not over doing it!!! LOL--are you with me???? Stephanie is learning how to dress a table mom style or maybe Martha Stewart way...but not liking what I had in mind and did it Stephanie style...ehh okay. I gave in. Gretchen learned how to make green bean casserole for her dad and prepare the ham for her dad too. Then learned learned about cranbery sauce yummo !!! - for mom of course. Okay, 4 dozen rolls are ready to bake... lemon for meringue pie is waiting ...turkey looks fabulous... oh no sweet potatoes oh well less to work off!!! The corn made it...the mashed potatoes were warm but not hot... and nothing was overcooked or whatever could possibly go wrong in this chaos I created and generated. All the light swere up out side with Kayla's help and creativity...MOm help too!!!! Is it nap time??? Nope...time to make chocolate pie and meringue. LOL-really now. Then we went to our friends the Polings for dessert. Oh that was good fixins!!!! The guys and 2 of my daughters went outside to pay basketball cause you knwo...its 68 degrees or something like that!!! Oh did I say Mike and Stephanie played church friendly footabll in am with mr. Poling??? No injuries ---yes!!!! Okay--now back to basketball...Mike got injured by falling to ground on POlings stone/pebbled driveway...he tripped ober big foot Stephanie...LOL -are you with me now??? he came into house needing medical attention...luckily I could help with that and tened his hand wounds...now I just have to fix the hole in his pants!!!!!

Sounds like a perfect Martha Stewart Thanksgiving, of course. It looks like your family had a great day. Do the Polings have relatives in Ohio? It's Scott's mom's maiden name.
