Balloon Stuffing.

What do you get when you add some toilet paper rolls, some balloons and of course, the always coveted, tape?

Have you guessed yet?

Maybe once it's covered in papier mache it will be easier for you to figure out. You'll notice Jude is wearing his "gramma thing" as he calls his apron, for this operation.

Hmmm...orange legs? Have you guessed yet?

Now that it's all painted, what do you think? Jude and I discovered that you do get brown when you mix all the colours of paint. Thank goodness or we wouldn't have had enough paint!

Did you guess a turkey? Don't worry if you didn't, Jude calls it a chicken and named it "monkey". So even he's a little confused. We hope your thanksgiving is as much fun as making this guy, but tastier!!

We are celebrating our first bit of Thanksgiving this afternoon at Jude's school. They are making stone soup, and if my memory is correct it would be tastier if it was made out of stones...oh well, the songs are very cute and there's usually a homemade craft too. I'm pretty sure I'll take at least one photo, so stay tuned to the blog.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone. I have so very much to be thankful for, my heart is full. Enjoy those turkeys, monkeys, chickens or whatever will be on your table this year.

Ah, this is so cute! If only I was gifted enough to get the "craft" gene. Just think about all the turkeys, monkeys and chickens that would be displayed around our place. Carolyn, you are so creative!

Happy Thanksgiving to you all.

Love, Angie
