Grandma reads the story about the first Thanksgiving while the children make Indian headdresses - or crowns as Tia calls them :) Our little Turkeys :) Happy Thanksgiving from our house to yours!
We had another fun day today with the cousins. Our older three all went to school and the rest of us headed into the city. The Maritime Museum and the food court were about all we could fit in before the gang needed to head to the airport. I took these photos in the morning before we left.
Every Friday Elijah has his "news". some weeks there are required items and some weeks it is "free choice". Elijah's choice last week was to bring some legos he put together for the ocassion. Elijah LOVES legos. News is always exciting at our house and we are so proud of all the thought Elijah puts into his "News" every Friday! Well Done little buddy!
This is our family scrapbook . . . thanks for stopping by! It's fun for us to stay connected to our family and friends while we are so far from home. PLEASE leave a comment every now and again - it makes us feel like we are not forgotten :)
Aus speak
Chockers (short for Chock-A-Block)
Chock - A - Block (very busy or "full-on"!)
full on (this is the BEST of Aus speak!) Full on means totally busy or completely absorbed in - a child that is super busy can be "full-on" or a weekend crammed with activities is "FULL ON!" We love this expression because it does not seem to have an American equivalent and we can't imagine how we were able to express ourselves adequately with out it!
