Here is a narration of Cranberry Thanksgiving on the left and a Thanksgiving poem for memory and copywork in the middle.
Mary Beth has written things for which she's thankful on the turkey's feathers. The purple matchbooks open to tell about the events on the Mayflower.
The map shows the journey from England to Plymouth.In the centerpiece are the steps for planting corn (I think this, the map, and the Mayflower pictures are from Enchanted Learning.). There is a folded Venn diagram just below the map (it's hard to see because it's yellow). Mary Beth compared our Thanksgiving dinner with the Pilgrim dinner.
On the right in this picture (really the bottom flap) is a four part shutter book with picture of spring, summer, winter and fall reduced from N. C. Wyeth's Pilgrims. This is a really beautiful book!Beneath the flaps are narrations of each season that I keyboarded so we could fiddle with the font and make it fit.
Happy Thanksgiving, Katherine! I'm glad you asked.
...to forego that latte.
She SLEEPS! This is historic. She's sleeping in the learning room while everyone else does math! We might, maybe, really learn something before Christmas, after all. Who needs coffee; I'm euphoric!
The outfit came from Auntie Dawn. (This might be the most web-connected baby in history!)
He knows how hard it was to give up those lattes! He witnessed the withdrawal after the Very Last Starbucks! He knows Gingerbread Lattes are my all-time favorites. And yet this child was up last night writing so compellingly about gingerbread bliss, so that I could read about it first thing this morning and remember what I'm missing. To compound the craving, the Sugar Plum Fairy has a coffee theme too. Are they conspiring to weaken my resolve? I have to repeat the mantra: Coffee makes me cranky; milk makes Karoline cranky; and sugar is BAD! Somehow, I'm not sure raspberry tea is gonna get me through this morning. Is there a way to make postpartum tea whipped, sweet, and creamy? Anyone?
Don't miss the beautiful slideshow:
I'm Elizabeth. I'm a happy wife and the mother of nine children. I grab grace with both hands and write to encourage myself and others to seize and nurture the joy of every day. I blog here with my daughter, Mary Beth, a wholehearted young lady on the brink of adulthood.
