November 12

Isaac tends to forget to mention that he has long-term homework assignments until a few days before they're due. (We're working on it.) So that's why he spent the weekend making a paper turkey and writing a speech (both due.... tomorrow). I have to say, procrastination annoyance aside, the end product is pretty cute:

This is Carter the Turkey, who plays for the A's. Yep: a baseball playing fowl constructed of glitter glue, beads, yellow and green Froot Loops, and pieces of cereal box. (The cereal box bits came from a box of Count Chocula, and comprise Carter's baseball glove. It's also noteworthy that Count Chocula is one of Carter's favorite foods.)

I've said it before, but I'm consistently impressed by my kiddos' continued growth and creativity. It's a blessing to be able to watch them grow up.
