Today marks the start of a long weekend, for the Canadian Thanksgiving. As usual, the first thing LP asks when we announce an upcoming weekend is: "On va où?" (Where are we going?) I guess we had it coming. Yesterday he grabbed his foot-propelled toy car and said "I'm leaving, bye!" "Where are you going?" And he replied, dead serious: "The Florida Keys."
After entertaining the idea of going to New York this weekend, we went against our wanderlust instinct a bit and finally decided against it. So our answer to LP's staple question was, for the first time in a long time: nowhere.
We'll stay home, "close up the yard" in preparation for the winter, probably go to the pumpkin patch, cook and bake a bit. Weather permitting, my husband will go on his last long motorcycle ride of the season. We'll stock up on firewood, hopefully stay in bed late, and hopefully fall asleep all snuggled up together watching DVDs. Slowly getting into hibernation mode. And oh, we'll give thanks.
Happy long weekend (if applicable, obviously)! See you on Tuesday.

Sounds delicious....
I had hoped to have similar low-key plans...but I kinda had already committed myself to marrying a friend (which'll be fun, once I am actually there) and going to my parents for Thanksgiving.
Will be hurried...but fun.
Have a good long weekend with your boys!
What a wonderful plan! We will do the same. At first we wanted to go to Lac-Megantic but then decided to stay home. The last few months were exhausting...we need to get some rest and get prepared mentally for the crazy Holidays season and its 4 family reunions...hmm...maybe THAT would be the right time to get away ;-)
Thinking the same, Marie, thinking EXACTLY the same ;-)
Happy Thanksgiving to the three of you! Hope you have a lovely long weekend, sounds well worth staying home for :)
