about a month ago christopher came home with an assignment that involved the whole family. he had a file folder with a big turkey drawn in black marker.
as a family we were to decorate the turkey with whatever we wanted. we decided to use all different colored beans (chris' idea) and do a big 'ssj' (my idea) in the middle. so, we all sat at the table and glued up this turkey with all these wonderful beans. we had most of them but chris did run up to sprouts for the orange and yellow ones we used for the feathers.
it took awhile but we all enjoyed decorating the turkey. when we were done the kids went out to play and i started gluing the black beans around it - i'm a sucker for details (sometimes!) - and christopher ran back inside for a drink of water and offered to help me with it. he got the quick lecture of the importance of details and always doing your best work. he agreed and patiently helped me glue the black beans all around the turkey, and what a difference they made.we had a very nice thanksgiving. the highlight was both the boys playing in the annual pitch card game tournament (and ella holding chris' hand of cards for him - every game he played - she had to be a part of it too!). a late night but they had so much fun...we were in our pjs the next day until @ 2pm playing more pitch and building bunk bed forts - you gotta love lazy days!
