52 Favorites

Lady Slipper,

Yesterday, you read a book about a boy who wrote down his 50 favorite things.  You felt that there was just no way you could think of that many favorites. So we got out your journal and  tried it.  I loved watching you think and the surprise you exuded when you very quickly made it to 50 things.

Later that afternoon, it snowed a little just as we were walking out of dance class, Perfect timing, for both you and I  really love snow.  I knew it was a miracle.  You  said "mom please help me add 51 to my list: snow."  Then on the drive home you saw a horse and got so excited "52 mom! Horses!! They are my favorite animal!!"  I added them to your list.
 

Thanks for sharing your favorites with me!!

Love,

Mom

Thanksgiving Turkey

Turkey was twice rejected this year. Our Thanksgiving meal plans sadly had to changemore than once. First, our thanksgiving duck was taken from our backyard by some sneaky animal.  Then we chose ham instead of turkey.  It was really good! (recipe is here).

But the turkey still had to make his appearance in some other ways.  First, Morning Glory had a fun English teacher who gave the class a turkey to color even though they are in 9th grade and promised to come to each and every home to make sure they displayed it on the fridge "just like they did in kindergarten."  She went along with the idea and made my day. So much fun:) And now that it is almost time to put away all the Thanksgiving decorations, Lady Slipper just had to have a turkey too: She wanted to paint a hand turkey. The holiday will last at least one more day before the decorations switch themes in our kitchen!! (Christmas is already all over the rest of the house.  I love the holidays). It is even worth cleaning up Starflower participation mess on my new tablecloth.  Totally worth it!
