Mealplan Monday #35 and kitchen trees

Thanksgiving is this week!  I can't believe how quickly it has sneaked up. The menu this week is rather simple, and I have so much shopping to do. But I spent 10 minutes last week crafting something cute for the kitchen window seat:

Little potted pines!  

Monday - Scalloped potatoes with ham, salad
Tuesday - Dr. Martin's Mix, hot bread
Wednesday - Mom's Birthday!  Mom and Dad out, boys get freezer pizza and a movie.
Thursday - Breakfast is cinnamon rolls, bacon, gingerbread cocoa
                    Lunch is Thanksgiving Meal
                    Dinner will be turkey sammies
Friday - Turkey Soup for dinner, smoked brisket with all the trimmings mid-day
Saturday - Dad grill?
Sunday - Spaghetti and Meatballs, salad

  

Here's how I made my little pots:

 

  I started with a cheapo "pine table tree" from Big Lots.

Got a medium sized terra cotta pot. 

Set a can of tomatoes inside to help my little tree stand taller!

Stuffed newspaper all around it to stabilize it and fill the space.

Added in some natural moss.

 

And tied a sprig of burlap ribbon on the top. 

No watering needed, ha ha.
