Kindergarten Thanksgiving Feast

One of the best Kindergarten activities is the Kindergarten Feast right before Thanksgiving Break.  Each Kindergartner makes a turkey out of household items, and these served as the table center pieces.  They dress up like Pilgrims and Indians, and sang songs for us.  Will chose the name Running Cowboy for himself.  They also dictate their version of how our family Thanksgiving goes.  They are all hilarious to read!  It was a wonderful day of celebrating.

Playing in the Leaves



















We don't have a huge fall in Texas, but the kids enjoyed playing in our leaves one Sunday afternoon.  Landry had fun, too!

Caroline Turns 8

Caroline had such a fun day on her actual birthday.  I took lunch up to her at school and then stayed for krispy creme donuts for the whole class.  After MUCH debate she chose to eat at Babe's for dinner, and then we came back home and opened presents.  The hit was definitely an I Touch from Gram and Grandpa.
