Thanksgiving practice

TBT: From 2013 on the Sunday before Thanksgiving.  Big Brother was 6 years old, Sister was 4 years old, and Tank was 20 months old.


We practiced Thanksgiving dinner tonight......yes, you read that correctly. We had turkey, mashed potatoes, dressing and pumpkin pie, all of which are on the McKinney Kids' "I Don't Like That Even Though I Refuse To Try It" list. We practiced sitting in our chairs, trying new foods, and being polite when we didn't like something.

It was a true trial run of Thanksgiving. Everyone was crying because there was nothing good to eat, Tank was screaming at being strapped into a highchair, and Big Daddy and I were snapping at each other over all the commotion. Tank threw his milk and food across the dining room, Sister's drink got spilled all over the table and the floor, and Big Brother choked on his pie and threw up his whole dinner.

Yep, we are ready for Thanksgiving.
