The Day after #Thanksgiving

November 25, 2011 by OneMommy

‘Twas the day after Thanksgiving

We couldn’t eat any more,

And the last thing we wanted,

Was to go to a crowded store.

kid bowling gameHappy that Daddy was home,

The kids opted to play,

At a bowling alley we designed

Earlier that day.bowling gameAfter chili dogs for lunch,

Was a trip to the creek,

Where we looked for fossils,

And saw Papaw and Uncle Dan twice in a week!fossil huntingThen two tired kids

Went home to read books.

Every book in the basket

Got a thorough look.

**

For dinner, of course,

Thanksgiving leftovers – yum!

Our day after Thanksgiving

Was plenty of fun.

**********

Hope all my readers had a great Thanksgiving and the day after!  Did you brave the stores this Friday?  Or did you opt to stay home like we did?

    Love the poem. I totally agree with the day after Thanksgiving. It is a good time to relax and have daddy take special time with the kids…and I get a break! LOL.

      Oh, definitely having Daddy there to play with the kids was nice – Mommy needed a break after making the big dinner!

    I love your poem! I can’t write poetry to save my life. And it sounds like it was the perfect day after Thanksgiving!

    I love how you captured the memories in such a fun poem! We avoided the stores yesterday and after our drive home from my brother’s we worked and played in the yard all day. We had one of those rare sunny fall days where we were in the mid 60s. It was great!!

      Sounds like you had a great day, too! We were blessed with good weather again today, but I believe it is supposed to turn much colder starting tomorrow.

    Sounds like a great day—we avoided the Black Friday Plague and headed outdoors to a nature preserve as well.
