This past weekend was Thanksgiving here in Canada.
There was 5 whole days off school which made me long for Summer holidays, already! Thanksgiving and the sappiness that comes with the glory of sleeping in again made me think.
I am Thankful.
For days spent in pyjamas. The gathering of family to enjoy a meal that literally puts you in a turkey coma. For these 3 beauties that keep me happy despite testing my patience daily. My Chaos wouldn’t be the same without my twins plus one, for sure.
Katelyn and Sophia, whom also apparently get into their big sisters dress-up makeup. Isabelle also recently got new glasses which I just cannot stop raving about, I think they look absolutely great on her.
Of course, keeping it real, I’m also thankful for the candy stash that overfills my pantry from our trip to Walt Disney World where we trick or treated at Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party. It’s like the most awesome practice for Halloween. Who’s Will Power?
Speaking of, there’s a new-to-me candy that I’ve never seen In Canada. ‘Now & Later’ is something which I have fallen in love with. Where have you been all my life little fruit chew?
Yes, very thankful indeed.

10/15/2013 at 8:16 amI would love to take my little girl (and her bigger siblings) to that Disney Halloween party. It sounds so neat. There’s a big kid inside of me. Your girls are lovely!
Mystery Case says
10/15/2013 at 8:25 amWhat gorgeous girls. Mine have just had two weeks off school and it just wasn’t long enough.
Sophia says
10/15/2013 at 9:32 amI am quite jealous that Thanksgiving comes so early for you. Maybe I should apply for dual citizenship, so I can have two. Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday of the year. I rarely get to see my siblings since we live all over the country/world, but we seem to always get home on Turkey Day.
On another note, your girls are beautiful. I also think Isabella’s glasses are super cute.

10/15/2013 at 10:21 amSuch beauties!
I used to love those Now & Laters. I remember walking down to the gas station when I was a little girl and buying a ton of them. They were always in the penny candy section (though they probably cost 5¢ each). Yummiest candy ever!
Tammi says
10/15/2013 at 1:48 pmI really wish we had them here, they are sooo goood!!!!
Rosey says
10/15/2013 at 10:31 amAll great things to be thankful for, for sure. 🙂 I remember getting Now n Laters in a pkg of five for a dime when I was a kid. That was a big time thing, lol
Tammi says
10/15/2013 at 1:49 pmSuch a shame we don’t have them here, or am I just not looking hard enough. I see a mission in my future!!

Karly says
10/15/2013 at 11:34 amWait, what? You guys haven’t had Now & Laters in Canada?!?! Canada needs to get with the program here, and stop denying you awesome candy goodness! And Isabelle’s glasses are great!
Tammi says
10/15/2013 at 1:51 pmI know right? It should be illegal!! And thanks for the compliments Karly, I adore these glasses on her, can’t stop telling her that!

10/15/2013 at 12:58 pmYour girls are so pretty! I don’t know what your husband looks like, but they do look a lot like their mom. 🙂
Tammi says
10/15/2013 at 1:52 pmWe definitely hear more that they look like me, some years more than others. 🙂
Renae says
10/15/2013 at 2:56 pmInteresting. We have had Now and Laters for years!!! I love just good old salt water Taffy or Ferrero Roche!!!
Tammi says
10/15/2013 at 5:57 pmsalt water taffy is one of my faves too, I prefer the fruit chewy types over chocolate!

Tammi says
10/15/2013 at 5:58 pmWe certainly did, though we were missing a key family member. Perhaps we’ll have to do a re-do!
orangeheromama says
10/15/2013 at 6:00 pmLovin’ Isabelle’s glasses! So cute!
and I’m also loving the bag of candy! Is Now & Later like Starburst? I LOVE Starburst!
Tammi says
10/16/2013 at 6:25 amIt is like starburst, but I think almost better flavour!!
And thank you for the compliments on her glasses!
🙂

Mimi says
10/15/2013 at 9:38 pmI’m longing for summer and sleeping in and that’s pretty much every weekend. lol Too funny that you just found Now n Laters. I haven’t had them since I was a kid. =)
Tammi says

Meg @ Snap Happy Mom says
10/16/2013 at 12:54 pmHappy Thanksgiving! We are newbies to your country’s holiday, but were thrilled to be invited to a Thanksgiving celebration this week with some friends. Is bread pudding typical of all Canadian Thanksgiving? It was SO yummy!
Jordana says

Lana Thompson says
10/19/2013 at 11:44 amThis weekend we got to see o=my husbands parents for the first time in over a year and a half. I guess that’s what can happen when you move to the bloody Yukon! They came to see our new house and town (Burns Lake) and bring us some of our treasures that were left at thier house when we moved up North. It was wonderful to see them, and we got to have a fantastic holiday weekend and time visiting.
I’m happy to hear that you had such a wonderful Thanksgiving 🙂
loriag says
10/20/2013 at 7:15 amThanksgiving was lovely, I have decided to continue the Thanks fullness purposefully the rest of the month.

FoundProdigalDaughter (Nicolle) says
10/25/2013 at 12:53 pmare those candies sort of like a starburst candy but better? If so, you might find something similar in an Asian store…there’s some called Hi-chews and then others as well that I forget the name of…but they are wonderful.
Teresa Claire says
10/25/2013 at 8:19 pmSara and I went to my Mum and sister’s place for Thanksgiving. To be honest I haven’t attended Thanksgiving at Mum’s for a few years and this year…it was perfect! No family drama…just a great dinner and lots of laughter!
Elva Roberts says
10/28/2013 at 11:17 amOctober 28- Your girls are beautiful and experimenting with makeup which adds to the effect. We has a wonderful Thanksgiving as well, with most of our large extended family present for a ‘turkey’ meal. To have a close family is something to be grateful and thankful for indeed!
jessica s says
10/30/2013 at 7:25 amyou have a lovely family! as a new mom, I can’t believe how much I love this little person or how much I would change after having him. Very thankful indeed! 🙂
kristin smith says
12/07/2013 at 10:28 pmI LOVE now and laters!! LOL My sister went to Texas a few years back and brought me back a bunch of treats, and besides be worried i was gonna yank out a tooth when I first started chewing, they were YUMMY!! Also my daughter got her first glasses a few months ago, and she was sooo excited! (well we both were) lol….but now that the novelty has worn off, its like pulling teeth to get her to wear them!!! haha see how i tied that in!! LOL
