I'm so excited that we'll be heading down to {a hopefully warmer} Texas exactly one week from today.   I have such fond memories of celebrating Thanksgiving in my mother's home and am thrilled to see her new crib in Dallas for the first time ever. 

The kids are of course getting excited too.  This afternoon during lunch I mentioned to them that we were just one week away from going to Texas.  N's response was "wahoo!" and W was like, "whyeee?"  I started in with one of our favorite Funky Mama tracks and sang, "where are we goin'?" and then he got it!  He emphatically replied, "Grammy house!"

On my one week away to-do list for today is to compile lists of all that we'll need to be taking with us next week then starting little piles of said junk so I'm not hunting around looking for stuff on Monday night.  Not bad…..I can handle making lists.

If any of you are travelling or hosting out-of-towners, I pray for safe travels and happy returns after the holiday for you and yours!  ♥
