This week I am a single mom. Mikey has a bizillion tests, papers, and projects plus he has to go to class. Oh, and of course work 30 hours - I can see why his program advises against working. The earliest he will walk in the door this week will be 11 pm. Despite his absence, the kids and I are trying to not only survive, but have a little fun. Tonight we had our traditional Thanksgiving FHE (unfortunately sans Daddy).
First things first - we made our Thankful Turkeys. (and why isn't turkeys spelled with an -ies?) The kids, including Lucy, worked very diligently.
Check out the coolness of my new camera lens. I haven't really gotten to know it very well, but it takes the sharpest images and blurs the background - beautiful bokeh.
And the finished products...
Lucy didn't want to pose with her turkey, so Aidan had to help her out a little.
After our Thankful Turkeys, we moved on to our annual oreo turkeys.
Can I just say that the run I went on this morning was totally canceled out by the Reese's and oreos?
I am definitely thankful for fun, cute kids - even with Mikey gone all of the time right now, they still make life fun (unless they are screaming, fighting, or not listening to me - but they would never act like that, right?)

Mmmm...I want one of those turkeys!
I can tell you why turkeys just adds an S. It was one of the spelling principles I taught this week. Words that end with a vowel then a Y just have to add an S. Words that end with a consonant then a Y have to change the Y and and IES. I'm such a nerd.
I am so glad you are a nerd because my question is finally answered. Thanks!
Emily, don't worry. I thought the exact same thing! I have taught that exact spelling principle many, many times... Kudos to you, Natalie, for carrying on strong in Mikey's absence! I'm a big fan of traditions myself. I know your kids will look back with fond memories of these days! :)
You're putting us slacker moms to shame!
