You are way to kind to me Ma.

Today's lesson report: We talked about Thanksgiving and the importance of being thankful for what we have- and not worrying about what we don't have- or what other have. We made our annual "Thanksgiving tree". We make a big cut our of a tree and then make separate leaves. When someone comes over we ask them to write what they are Thankful for on a leaf and then we put it on our tree.

It is fun to watch the tree fill up.

Jimmy did some writing practice with his new Robot pencil and I quizzed him on his ability to use a clock we made. We hung a new decorative American flag in our house and we looked at my Great Grandfather's Veterans of Foreign Wars hat and talked about our relatives who were Veterans. We also read Sam the Minute man AGAIN! And talked about our ancestors who were in the Sudbury militia and why they were called Minute men. We had a game to see how long it would take us to get our shoes on and get our mock weapons together.... ( way over a min!!!)

We also had soccer club meeting and I had to get our lesson ready for Wends. Junior Explores Club. We are making canoes out of birch logs and figuring out how to make them float.

Sheesh!!! . . . you're making me tired Miss Betsy . . . about all I did today was bail water out of the toilet so it wouldn't overflow . . . YES WE HAD MORE RAIN IN SOUTH CENTRAL TEXAS!!! . . torrents of it . . . and seeing as we're on a septic tank and the drain field is saturated . . . I'm bailing water . . .LOL!!! . . . I tried to take the poor little next door neighbour girl over to the Mall for an "Emergency" . . . and could not get out of the neighbourhood because of water absolutely pouring over the roads every way I turned . . . and believe me it's not smart to drive over low water crossings . . . people do it every time we get these torrential rains and unfortunately some of them pay the ultimate price . . . they drown.
