Giving Thanks!

We are giving Thanks! We had great flights home. The boys did great. The major problem came when the stewardess announced that Pepsi's now cost $2. Drew has always loved flying and one of his favorite things about flying is getting Pepsi in flight. (Because we let them have whatever they want for those few hours so that they are not screaming and bothering the other patrons.) Anyways, we had been priming Drew for flying and coaxing along his good attitude with promises of Pepsi on the airplane. So, when the stewardess made the fateful announcement, our hearts sunk. We were between a rock and a hard place. Or in other words, we were between a beautiful little boy craving a Pepsi he had been promised and a tightwad Plattner who would rather do many unpleasant things before he would spend $2 on a Pepsi. So, obviously, the Plattner won and we delayed his gratification until we reached the airport and we blessed him with his drink of brown goodness. Other than that little hiccup, we had good times. We also had a blessed thanksgiving with family and we have been enjoying the change in seasons. We are giving Thanks and we pray that it wont stop soon as we have so much to be Thankful for.
