thanksgiving "tivity" #1

there were no thanksgiving books at the library. these teachers and mommies are brutal. they pre order them in october...september even. crazy. so i made a little book of our own, with pictures and stories and activities that i found on the good ole internet.

You are the best "tivity" mom I know. The only "tivities" going on at my house these days are nap time. I have to admit. I count the minutes each day to begin that one. :)

I LOOOOOOOVE the big blue ocean! That's my favorite part! I was going to take the kids to the library for TG books this afternoon, so thanks for the heads up. Jack and I are making a list of things we are thankful for- one per day - that we are putting in our TG cornacopia of thankfulness to be read at TG dinner (cheesey I know). On Jack's list so far: lips, trains, tractors, cars & smoothies.
