Twas the week before Thanksgiving

Who's in the mood for some Thanksgiving? I know I am. Eva has been sick with roseola all week long so most of our week was spent indoors cuddling. I'm glad that the weather was cooler this week because it made it easier to want to snuggle up with the cute little kitty you see above (of course I always want to cuddle with her!).  What else made it fun to be inside? Thanksgiving decoration and crafts!
 

Craft 1: Wall of Thankfulness. My mother in-law was getting rid of these three 8X10 frames so I snatched them up. I printed off the background pages on cream colored card stock and we write on the with dry erase markers. I like having these up because it reminds me to be intentional about writing down what I'm thankful for.

Craft 2: Super Turkey Finger Puppet. I picked up the kit for this at Michael's and assembled it for Eva. You could probably make this on your own without a kit if you have the supplies at home already. She thinks its quite hilarious when I make him dance and talk. 

 
Craft 3: Sticker Cornucopia. This is also from Michael's. I did the good mom thing and let Eva completely decide where each sticker went. I did not try to tell her what would look the cutest. I encouraged her to be creative and let it look how she wanted it to look. Then I used a ziplock bag and some classy packing tape to stick it up on the fireplace wall next to her toys. 

It's time for s'more Thanksgiving! I did not make these bu they sure are cute. We have s'more people decked out for Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas. It's fun to change them out with each holiday.

Thanksgiving read alongs! We've been reading up on some silly turkeys to get ready for the big day.

And tonight I found this awesome Turkey Time song/video. Thanksgiving week dance party? Sounds fun to me.

Thankfully my girl is finally better and looking forward to delicious food and time with family this week. Gobble gobble!
