Harvest Dinner Week Finale

The Watson Harvest Dinner just ended. My kitchen is cleaned, my husband is picking the turkey clean for leftover turkey sandwiches tomorrow, my sisters are folding my kids clothes for me, and I am happily taking a much needed rest. I love family dinners as much for the aftermath as the actual event. I now have a clean house for the rest of the week (or at least however long it lasts, maybe until Tuesday.) We made it through the day with only 2 mishaps:

1) I decided to bake the extra apples soaked in bourbon with the turkey, but I put them in a parchment paper lined pan. Well, the paper caught fire, and literally blew up from the alcohol. It blew our oven door open and shot a fireball out of the oven, but thankfully no one was hurt. Braden just about had to change his pants, but it all ended ok. And the turkey was just fine!
2) Penelope, after eating 3 pumpkin rolls and some pumpkin pie, threw up bright orange puke then slipped in it. I scooped her up and stuck her in the tub, and by the time I came back in the kitchen my dad, Ashly, & Ashlyn had cleaned it all up for me! Gotta love family.
