Turkey Time

Wow, it's been awhile...

Poor Elliot is getting impatient about Thankgiving. I deliberated yesterday if I wanted to put it upon myself to bake a pumpkin pie (not my favorite, personally -- but a dietary requirement for Brad). But once we got to HEB, I gave Elliot the option of helping me bake, or just buying one at the bakery, and - hallelujah - he picked the ones that were already made (featuring coupon for free Redi-Whip!).

So now we have this pie staring us in the face for another 24 hours before we're supposed to dig in. We just barely resisted last night, after the kids went to bed. Today, Elliot approached me no less than 3 or 4 times and said, very seriously: "Mommy, I just want to eat that pie."

I came upstairs to IM Brad about this, and next thing I know, Elliot has toted the pie upstairs so he can study it through its packaging. Then he suddenly grabs his guitar and breaks into song, singing the praises of eating turkey and pie. I can't make this stuff up!
