Random thoughts on a sunny November morning:

1. Are you watching the World Cup? Did you see the USA vs. England yesterday? It was on at the same time as the Baylor game and we were trying to watch both and decorate Christmas trees.

I’m so proud of our USA team. The game ended in a tie and they played their hearts out.

2. We used to play Dr. Mario all the time in college. Does anyone else relate? Denton brought home a retro version and we’ve been having Dr. Mario tournaments all Thanksgiving weekend.

3. Thank you so much for all the Christmas movie recommendations. I’m putting together a list. Have you seen the show Silver Skates on Netflix? It’s SO good. It’s in Russian with subtitles and it’s the perfect love story.

4. It was such a fun week on the blog. We discussed:

5. I made my apple pie again for this Thanksgiving and it was a HIT. My mother proclaimed it amazing and told me the pie crust was next level.

You can see the recipe here.

    I took the quiz about where I should live and what popped up is a town very close to us. It seems that I landed in the right place. Fun! Hope you are having a great weekend with all your kiddos home!

    Ok I NEED to make that apple pie but I’m a bit confused. Is the butter only crust the one you recommend or the buttery lard? Thanks!

    I wanted to take the "where should I live" quiz, but I don't subscribe to the NYT so I couldn't take it. I know I'm where I'm supposed to be. I've been here since I was a year old. :-)
