Pics found

I love when missing pictures are found simply. Instead of "I deleted them," or "the computer ate them" it's refreshing to solve the problem by just checking the other sd card. So without further adieu-a run-down of the Thanksgiving celebration. Before the holiday, there was a program and feast for the 4K and 5K classes and their families at the boys' school. I love their place settings complete with photos and hand prints- priceless works of art to me.

And God bless the teachers of 4-year-olds everywhere. And may there be a special blessing for teachers who braid their hair and dress as an Indian in the spirit of the presentation. I have to say that we 'heart' Mrs. Heck.
Our somber little Indian.
And here's a little bit of happiness more than halfway through the program.

Another very serious Indian.
The Pledge


I have to say that I am impressed that kindergartners knew all the words for several verses of "My Country Tis of Thee." I thought it ended at 'sea to shining sea,' but they kept going.
Cousin Mo Mo enjoying the performance (maybe less so than the candy corn and cheese cubes).
Jack and his sweet teacher
We found out after that the 4K class gave themselves Indian names. Among the "Fairy, Fast Runner, Brown Bear, Snow, and Princess," Jack decided that his name should be "War." I've stopped asking 'why' because when I do his response usually leaves me more baffled than I was to begin with :). That free spirit in him is a precious thing (most of the time).
