We read many books on this very rainy day: Curious George Makes Pancakes, Friends by Eric Carle (several times), The Wheels on the Bus, 5 Monkeys Jumping on the Bed, and The Gingerbread Man.

It was fun making turkeys this week. When we do an adult-directed activity like this, I try to have the children do as much as possible and have as many choices as possible for colors- especially when I am telling them where to place things. I love when they put their own signature/style to cookie-cutter crafts--
so I hope you enjoy your multi-color turkeys this year :-)

Have a wonderful Thanksgiving Holiday and long weekend!

It is hard to "smile" and keep your eyes open at the same time! :-)

We made a house from the cushions with a playsilk roof

I have an interview set up for Saturday for a 15mo old boy on a full-week schedule. The family sounds very nice and I am hoping it will work out. As always, I will use you all as references :-)

Daniel gave us "Old MacDonald Had a Farm" and we also read Brown Bear, Brown Bear.

We filled the birdfeeders today. We talk about the importance of taking care of the birds in the cold weather. I love how the kids love the responsibility and enjoy filling the feeders up!
