On Thursday after soccer we went to a pizzeria to get some pizza before we went home to cook for Thanksgiving tomorrow. While we were waiting for our pizza to be made, we looked around at the store across the street and found some measuring spoons (which we needed badly). When we got home we ate our pizza and started working on the apple pies. One thing: we didn't have a rolling pin. My mom has always loved wine and there was one bottle that my mom hadn't finished, but it was basically the rolling pin shape so... it had to do. It was really fun making the crust, tearing bread for the stuffing, rolling the crust notably with the wine bottle half full. Around (ten I think) we talked with our cousins and talked about what kind of bands we liked, what we want to do for a job when we're an adult and once when I said I wanted to be a pilot they thought I said pirate so we all ended cracking up. We went to sleep really late (I don't know what time (probably because I was to tired)).
My dad had to carry me to my room because I fell asleep in my mom and dad's bed.

We didn't go to school on Friday because we had so much work to do for Thanksgiving. My mom and dad worked on one of the turkeys (there were two but one was too small for 10 people so we had to get two. Me and my sister watched Pirates of the Caribbean on Netflix because we had finished all our jobs. After school had ended one of our friends came over to help for the last bit. When all the guests had arrived we finally started to dig in on the mouth-watering food and apple cider (burned my tongue too many times drinking apple cider because it was so good I couldn't wait for it to cool down). After the turkey and the other food we lit off a lot of fireworks. Then we came in for apple pie which we wolfed  down in seconds (not literally but really fast). It was sad to have everyone go, but I soon forgot about it because I fell asleep really quickly.

  2. Hmm ... loving wine must run in the family, Oscar! I have to say that you are learning some good problem solving skills. If we need a rolling pin at the lake, I'll know what to use.

    Fireworks after turkey dinner isn't a custom here, but I like the idea. I think that our friend Jim Bailey would like it a lot.
