Thanksgiving coming soon!

We attempted to read the Thanksgiving story today. I don't have a book, so I just read the story off the internet. As much as I tried to make it interactive and interesting for the kids, I didn't make it through the story and I completely lost the 2 year olds.

Then we tried to make hand print turkeys. They were relatively successful. The paint dried REALLY fast so by the time I painted all of Eisley's fingers and hand, they were all almost dry. We ended up doing 1 color turkeys.
And totally changing the subject, I asked Emmett to pack his bag for our trip to the cabin. I told him what he needed - 2 pairs of underwear, 2 outfits, 1 pair of jammies... I didn't watch to make sure he was doing it properly, but once he was in bed, I checked his bag to make sure he hadn't forgotten anything. This is what I saw.
I just love how he folded his clothes, it's so organized. The little pocket on the left holds his socks. The top pocket (not shown) has his shoes. I think it's just adorable!

Amazing little guy! Amazing that he follows through on the instruction in such an orderly fashion. Did you tell him to pack his favorite blanket? I see that probably went in first!
