At story time today, the take-home craft was to make a turkey. Miss Tina gave the kids feathers for the tail or paper for them to make their own feathers and write what they were thankful for on the feathers. E opted to take both feathers and the paper. Once X went down for his nap, E and I sat down to make her turkey. She colored him and glued on his feathers while I cut out a few 'feathers' so that she could write down the things which she was thankful for...her list cracked me up a bit, so I thought I'd share. If I'm good I'll take a picture of her lovely turkey and post it. But here's her list, in order of dictation to me: 1. Jesus 2. God (She's a good pk...or sunday school participant, isn't she?!) 3. Crayons 4. Grapes (which would make sense if we'd been eating them lately but its been weeks since there's been grapes in the house!) 5. Paper 6. Birds 7. The Sky and finally 8. my house. Sometimes I'd love to get inside her brain and she how it all works because she intrigues me!
So, that just got me thinking about my top 8 things I'm thankful for...
1. Health (mine and my families) 2. Supportive husband 3. Wonderful children 4. The ability to stay home and enjoying life with them 5. A warm and cozy house 6. Amazing extended family 7. Great church family 8. All of the personal freedoms that we enjoy without thought
Happy Thanksgiving!!
