Lessons Learned On the Farm


• Nov. 25, 2005 - Our Thanksgiving ABC's

Well as we were driving to my mom's for Thanksgiving, we decided to make a game of naming the things that we are thankful for.  We did that thing where the first person says, "I am thankful for (something that starts with A)", then the next person has to do both A & B, and then so on  and so forth.  We had a good time with it.  Jonathan was snoozing and even though we were thankful for that, we didn't list it.

 

Apples

Books (good homeschool answer)

Cows

Dogs

Eggs

Flowers

God  (Jake did that one)

Home

Ink (it's so nice to have when you're trying to print something)

Jesus (with all of the J names in our family, Joe went for the big Guy)

Kings (Jake went for our good pals)

Love (Tony being mushy)

Money (again my practical side)

Noble Sport shotgun shells (from Joe the trap shooter)

Oatmeal (Tony said that because I like it)

Parents (Jake was trying to get on our good side)

Quilts

Resurrection (Joe with the spiritual answer)

Savior (Jake too)

Trinity (Tony had to try to be spiritual since the boys were)

Unity of believers (I thought of Union University, God's favorite college)

Vowels (they are quite handy)

Word of God (Jake again, isn't he getting mature?)

Xylophones (not a lot of other choices there)

Y'all (I can be mushy when I want to too)

Zebras (like Marty from Madagascar!)

we did the "what we're thankful for" on the turkey day table cloth. i then ironed it to set the ink and it's now in the wash. we'll see if it turned out. caleb wrote his entire name, drew a picture and wrote DAD. joshua said he's thankful for trees (don't ask me?!) luke and danielle just scribble scrabbled. tripp and i listed the usual family and stuff and my friend andrea wrote Jesus (or course HE was on our list too.).
Miss you guys

Only we wrote "thankfulness" on the board, and made an acrostic kindof thingy----it was Turkey, ham, apple pie, nancy, ken, friends, umbrellas (joshua said that) life, nuts, eternity, sweet potatoes and well, sweet potatos. Acutally, pie.

Hey, how does it feel to be the grand pooh-bah winner of my contest? Shhhh, you didn't tell your husband yet, did you????

How creative! I may save this for when we take a long trip. They'll love it and hopefully will get everyone on the thankful thinking wagon. : )
BE Blessed,

Loved your Thanksgiving ABC's, isn't it great when our children name the Lord in what they do and say!
