Oh, to be thankful!

thankful that the turkey fit into the oven
thankful that a pecan pie without corn syrup is still edible
thankful that the infamous gravy boat made the trip across country
thankful that numerous people without family close can get together and be each others
thankful that butter is in abundance no matter where you live
thankful that a turkey neck is able to be hacked off by an amateur
thankful that kids brighten any holiday for anybody
thankful that cheetos can substitute french onions on a greenbean casserole
thankful there is always something to be thankful for

Kindergarten...

Learning about different holidays is especially fun when you have such a diverse class. It was our day to go and teach the kids about 'Thanksgiving'. Chris couldn't not show a clip of Barry Sanders playing american football! I had to insist that the pilgrims and the indians were thrown in somehow and of course, the whole "being thankful" part.

Winter is here!

And there is no better view than from inside!

If I ran the zoo...

Lorenzo the six-year-old. It must be the year that you are officially grown-up, and in which you decide to throw yourself a party. Lorenzo had it all planned that him and his classmates would go to the swimpark, with their swimsuits and the order of who's following who driving, so they know how to get there, and who's buying him what present... It was quite the plan! And all the classmates had been told of it and were in turn 'in on the scheming'. Oops! Needless to say we decided to send out an evite three days before and only could hope that anyone would come on such short notice, without swimsuits, to a party at our house. Luckily it all came together wonderfully. (Probley cause we promised pizza and cake) Alas, whatever the reason it was a fabulous night for the Lorenzo- full of pizza, balloon races, bakugans, friends, cake, mummy wrapping, legos, bubbles, and most definitely a lot of wild animals!

HaPpY BoO tO yoU!
