Thanksgiving Feast!

Yesterday was Madeline's pre-school Thanksgiving Feast - so much fun! Jon couldn't join us as he's been serving on a jury all week so it was me and the kids. Maddie's class (in the Native American costumes) joined with another class (dressed as Pilgrims) and sang a few songs. I took the video on our old-school video camera, which means I don't have a digital file to post. But I'll write the lyrics to one of the songs as it was just too funny! After the "show", we all enjoyed a teaser Thanksgiving meal - can't wait for the real thing on Thursday!



"Mr. Turkey"

Mr. Turkey, Mr. Turkey
Are you getting nice and fat?
We are waiting for Thanksgiving
So what do you think of that?

Mr. Turkey, Mr. Turkey
Do you ever wonder why
People eat you at Thanksgiving
Instead of Chicken Pie?

Brogan has learned most of this song and it is hysterical to listen to the two of thing sing it. There are funny motions that go along with it, too.

Odie and friends

Little Mr. Odie is settling right in to our family. He and Hazie are best buddies and playmates now. Odie loves to pick a fight and Hazie is incredibly tolerant, but definitely puts him in his place when needed. We're all enjoying having a little kitten and he's quite the snuggler. Enjoy the photos!

Halloween Fun

We enjoyed a very fun Halloween yesterday. Started the festivities at a friend's brithday party where Maddie won the best costume prize - so fun! Then we came back to our 'hood for trick or treating and an informal block party in the neighbor's front yard. We had the fire pit going, adult beverages flowing, and plenty of candy for the kids...great for everyone!!
