Thanksgiving Activities

It's been a while - sorry :(

We've had a fun and busy fall. Preschool and kindergarten activities

keep this momma hopping from school to school. On the Wednesday before Thanksgiving, I did the "Crismon Turkey Trot" (a crazy exercise time sponsored by her P.E. teacher) with Gracie in the morning and then raced over to Hope's preschool later for her Thanksgiving Feast. Hope was ecstatic to discover she got to take Pooh home from preschool for the whole Thanksgiving break. (Each child gets a turn with Pooh and then writes in the journal and brings back pictures).

Here are Hope and Pooh in the fort we made in the living room.
Here we have the family drying Pooh off after his
Thanksgiving dip in the pool :-)
Ask Aunt Alecia about that one!


This was Pooh's first swim. Hope's preschool teacher said that in the 10 years she's had Pooh in her class, he's never been swimming - he's been in a hospital OR, but not swimming. We were proud to present Pooh with his first aquatic experience!

Hope was a little Indian (or Native American)

and the other class dressed as pilgrims.


I got her looking right at the sun - sorry pumpkin :(

I've got to say - I love Thanksgiving! The food is scrumptious and the relaxing family time is something I always treasure. I'm very grateful for so many things: my family (both immediate and extended), my faith, my church, my friends, my job, my house, the ability to learn new things, exercise, chocolate, blogging, and the list could go on and on. I am disciplining myself to have an attitude of gratitude throughout the rest of the year.
