We got a bright and early start this morning! We started by getting our bread ingredients into the breadmaker so that we'll have a loaf later to make the dressing with. Logan was very helpful and dumped all of our ingredients in and then enjoyed watching the dough in the machine swirl back and forth for a while.
I had to get creative when I pulled the potatoes out to get the mashed potatoes ready. Sometimes Logan likes to be a little too helpful and we end up with a disaster (i.e. when I first gave her some she tried to eat the "toe-toes"...that didn't go over too well). But, I pulled a couple of the small potatoes out and gave them to her along with her very own "peeler" and she kept pretty entertained while I peeled the rest of them.
Then we took a break and watched a little bit of the Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade while the potatoes boiled. Logan likes to carry both of her babies around with her. She actually has been sleeping with both of them lately--they don't leave much room for her, but she doesn't seem to care and has a major meltdown if she wakes up and they're not both right there with her.
After the potatoes softened, we got to mashing!
Then, we started our "poo-pie" (Logan's version of the classic pumpkin pie). I knew I'd never be able to get away with making this one on my own once L saw the kitchen aide out. So, right now the pie is baking (Logan is waiting anxiously to take it out so she can see it). No disasters as of yet--the potatoes are in the fridge and the turkey is in it's dish waiting to be thrown in the oven! AND the kitchen is staying relatively clean--it's a good start.
