Day 171... Thanksgiving Fun!!!

We are watching the Macy's Thanksgiving day parade, cooking, relaxing and watching t.v. for our day of fun. Pretty typical for what most families do on this day. We are fortunate to have Grandma here for company. Wish everyone could be here with us but we will take who we can get. Wishing you and yours a Happy Thanksgiving 2011!!

Day 168... Thanksgiving Placemats

Tonight we made place mats for Thanksgiving. Everybody had fun and really tried to do their best. I think they came out pretty cute! Each person put their own spin on the project.

Carson was psyched that I gave him the award for most creative. He rocked out with his turkey's and really enjoyed making them. I think it shows. Way to go bear!

Day 165....... Feasting with Friends

Every year we gather with home school friends at Pooles Mill Park and have a mini feast to celebrate Thanksgiving. The kids love getting together with their friends and always have a great time. Today was no exception. Fun for all of us!!

Day 162.. Crazy Turkey's!!

Tonight was make a turkey night.. I showed the kids several different ideas I had seen on Pinterest and then we gathered tons of craft supplies and all got to work. At this stage in the game with kids from ages 7-11 I feel like they need to be shown a few ideas. Then, just do what you want to do, and make something that resembles a turkey. The good, the bad, the ugly who cares?? My only rule was you had to try to make a turkey. The results varied from WOW GREAT to hmmmm, interesting. Enjoy our 2011 Crazy Turkey's!!

Say Gobble Gobble!!

The Family in order. Daddy, Mom, Kenna, Jack, Carson and Maddie!!

Daddy get's the winner, winner turkey dinner award. Loved his version of a turkey made out of a paint stick, foam, pipe cleaners, and paint. GREAT JOB BABY!!

The mama turkey on the other hand looks as though she is being held up at a bank. She also seems confused as to her identity. A turkey, an eagle, an owl??? Psycho turkey!!! I think that is it, and fits my life to a perfect T!! John's comment was "eyeliner gone bad"!! LOL!!

2011 Crazy Turkey's!!

Day 160.... Thanksgiving Family Tree

We don't normally decorate for Thanksgiving but this year I thought we would. I saw this idea on Pinterest and LOVED it. We tried it for fun today and I think it turned out really cute. The kids went out and gathered some leaves and I strung them to make a leaf garland. Later in the week we will make some turkeys or something else to go on the mantle. It's a start and was a lot of fun!! The kids favorite part was getting their arms painted to make the tree's. It was cold and ticklish. Felt like the dog was licking our arms. A really fun family project that any age child could participate in.

Day 154.. Leaf Jumping!!

Today was a perfect fall day here in Georgia. Leaf Jumping was on the agenda for fun!! A few of the neighbors joined in, and the kids all had a blast!! My jumping pictures were all giant blurr's so this is the best I could do for pics!! Enjoy!!
