It just sounds so....so...sad...poor turkeys. I was a vegetarian for 10 years. Some turkey's death shall not be in vain on my watch this year.
I realized about .4 seconds after our turkey hand paint project that I needed to have the children do something a little less superficial for Thanksgiving. My ideas aren't always novel. Don't read too much into this.
I asked each child to think of something they are thankful for. Ben honestly replied, "my toys". I appreciate that. It was his birthday when we did our project. I explained to Ben that this is a time of the year to reflect on our thankfulness for everything, but, mostly, the special people in our lives. He said his special person is me....awwwww.....Alya said hers is her best friend, Lucy.
I asked them to make something special for the people they love. Here is what they did:
And a video (if it loads) for you all. Alya has a head cold, so she has been asked to rest on the couch with her Cricket remote and a big glass of oj....she didn't protest..
Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
