Thanksgiving Crafts
I did this post last year and since it fits so well I wanted to repost it today.
Did you wake up this morning and realize that it is getting really close to Thanksgiving?? Are you ready?
If you are teaching this week you might be focusing on our nation’s beginning. Here are some craft ideas I found via the Martha Stewart website for your visual learners.
Here are the links to the tutorials: The corn dolls. The hat and bonnet. The table ship.
Happy crafting!

Cancun Impressions
Friends,
we celebrated our 20th anniversary in Cancun last week. It was our second time kid free for longer than an overnight in 16 years. Hurray for 20 years! We spend three full days lounging at the beach and pool, eating the best Mexican food, and shopping in the markets. One afternoon we took a boat and went snorkeling in a Coral Reef. The beaches are really fantastic, as soft as they look, and the water is pretty warm with calm waves.
Now that we are back and it is pretty chilly out I have only my fading tan lines to remind me that this was for real.

Halloween
Friends,
How are you recovering from Halloween? Our youngest four are slowly emerging from a candy coma as a result of last night’s neighborhood sugar feast. Thankfully Emily caught a few shots before they headed out to trick or treat. This wasn’t the whole crew, some of their friends weren’t ready yet.
What a fun night! The chicken and little Roo from Winnie the Pooh sure were candy magnets…:)
This was our first Halloween without our two oldest (they went to friend’s houses). Sadly something I will have to get used to, sigh.
