Thanksgiving and Halloween

Canadian Thanksgiving is this coming Monday, so it will be a long weekend. We'll celebrate at my mom's on Sunday. I think I'll take a pumpkin pie to add to the dessert menu. It was a cold morning that turned into a gorgeous sunny day, I'm just heading out for a walk before I get the kids from school.

I noticed our local McDonald's already have their Halloween decorations up. I bought a pumpkin for carving.

M and I will celebrate our 20th wedding anniversary tomorrow. No plans to go to the Bahamas or anything! I picked up the bullnose tile (bathroom window trim), and the painter says she'll be finished hand painting today. They're tiling the kitchen area now, so that they can start assembling the cabinets. It's going to be a small 10ft by 6ft L-shaped area. It will be nice to see the finishing touches being put in at last.

I'm doing a microwaved fish for dinner, with broccoli and some baked chicken legs for K.

    I know I shouldn't be surprised, but you all seem to have the same Thanksgiving foods as we do in the States! Pumpkin pie is my favorite.
