Happy day before Thanksgiving! I had the day off today and spent it running a lot of errands. I also made three desserts tonight: pumpkin torte, pumpkin cake, and apple crisp. Thank you to Grandma Sandy who helped with the "scut work", as she called it – peeling and chopping apples.

M came home today solo – A went to a playdate with her friend Julia after school. M had fun at home getting all of our attention!

BIG NEWS – M lost her SEVENTH tooth today. She has no teeth on the top anymore! But her top right tooth is starting to come in, FINALLY. She has asked the Tooth Fairy to return all of her previous teeth, and specifically requested the $5 she is used to receiving.

We have a lot of cooking to do tomorrow and then a yummy dinner as a reward. And now to bed. I am running a 10K in the morning.
