The past month or so I've sat back and laughed as I read friends blogs cursing the paper turkey project. You see I don't have a 1st grader--which traditionally is the grade the paper turkey is done--AND I don't know that they have such strange rituals like paper turkeys and Homecoming Mums in Idaho, so I figured my turkey dressin' days were over!
Imagine my shock and disbelief when my 4th grade daughter presented me with a nude paper turkey that needed to be creatively dressed. (Over-achieving 4th grade teachers!)
At this point in life, however, Rachel has got creativity oozing from her so it was not such a painful experience. She choose to make a turkey beauty queen. "Nora Best" is her name and "Ms. Kenturkey" is her title.
**A quick Jonah tidbit--these are always the best!
It always takes Jonah a couple of hours to do his homework. Not because he's trying to prove the theory of relativity, but because he goofs off and is SOOO SLOW. Last night I left him to start working on his 8 sentences he had to write using his spelling words. After about 1 hour he had his name on his paper. I went to put Seth to bed and a half hour later came down to see Jonah asleep on the dining room floor.
He's pretty heavy at this point so I left him thinking Jared would see him and take him up. Apparently he didn't see him and he went to bed. At about 1:30 Jared woke up...Luke joins us at about this time each night...and couldn't get back to sleep. He realized that the dining room light was on, so squinty eyed he went out and turned it off. Then he heard a little voice say, "Dad I can't see my homework." He flipped on the light and there was Jonah sitting at the table writing sentences. He had 3 completed. Jared took him to bed and told him he could finish it in the morning. I don't know that 2nd graders should be pulling all-nighters! What a funny boy!
Happy Tuesday!

Poor Jonah! It is hard to be in 2nd grade! Sophie had to do the Turkey as well, but I did not even see it before it left. She did it herself. I hope there was nothing embarassing on it.
