Inexpensive board (cut by Mr. Handyman Shawn)
Wrapped in brown burlap (done by yours truly)
Scrapbook paper (donated by my mother)
Internet leaf template (just Google to find your own favorite leaves)
Twine (purchased 3 years ago)
Thumbtacks (purchased 7 years ago and then spray-painted black last year)
**Each child chose their own special paper for their 3 individual leaves**

Book (checked out from Library)
**Brought home several books from Library to read about Thanksgiving. Going to have a week of zeroing in on thankfulness and learning about the first Thanksgiving.**
Note: We do teach our children to be thankful and grateful year-round, but this is a good time to focus on it.

We're using that book next week too! Our curriculum for Thanksgiving week is built around it, so I'm really looking forward to it.
I think Ethan was disappointed when I stopped reading after just one chapter. So far it is good!
SOunds fun...I am going to the Library Friday so I hope to find a very Short book on being thankful...due to the fact my daughter like short pages of reading. She loves being read to and looking at books for a long time..but continues to turn the page about every 5 seconds. :) Yes I wish I lived closer too...Katelynn would love playing with your little girl. She LOVES kids! By the way your kiddos looked so cute at Lacy's wedding. I loved your little girls dress almost got it from Burlington for my little girl in Aug..but opted for something else.
Absolutely love the board! What a great idea!
Loved hearing from you sweet friend...come back often. So nice meeting you :).
Congrats on the deer! What a blessing!

I've been very neglectful of my google reader lately, so I missed this until today.
What a great idea :-) I love the burlap board and the pretty leaves.
