thursday morning, two weeks to go and the house needs to be cleaned (for my mother's white glove visit), recipes to be chosen, grocery shopping to be done, tons of details, and todays schedule doesn't leave me time to deal with any of it.
my first thought is what size turkey to buy for an unknown amount of guests - RSVPing is etiquette that my family just doesn't grasp.
then what recipes will appeal to my grandmother, my husband, and my kids (oh and my vegetarian niece). does anybody have any simple recipes that appeal to the masses - and it doesn't take a trip to a half dozen specialty grocery stores to buy all the ingredients!!!
another question to throw out there - with a playdate coming up are there any fun art projects with a thanksgiving theme. NO GLITTER PLEASE!!
looking forward to reading some great ideas.
since I have been asked by some friends of mine at Modern Babies & Children to get this blog started, they asked me to mention that they will be forwarding some fun giveaways to the most creative responses.
happy blogging.

For Thanksgiving playdates last year, my son really enjoyed sitting at the table with his friend(s) creating their own unique turkeys. I provided colored contstruction paper, play-do, crayons, tape, different shapes of pasta, glue, etc... and they provided the imagination. I still have the turkeys from last year which have now become Thanksgiving decorations at our house!
boil the squash and chopped onion until tender
drain the squash and onion and put in a mixing bowl
add 3/4 cup to 1 cup of sugar to the squash and mash it with a fork (while it's hot)
add about 8 to 10 crushed saltine crackers, black pepper, salt, 2 beaten eggs and 2 tbsp of Parkay margarine (cut up in pieces)
Grease your baking pan with the extra Parkay
Pour into the baking pan and bake at 350 for about 25 - 30 minutes - after about 15 minutes add your cheese slices and continue baking
