Countdown to Thanksgiving

Three days left!
.
my mom seriously makes THE best Thanksgiving dinner, ever.
It's my favorite meal of the whole year
and even better is the weather, it's finally getting cold - hip hip hooray!!!

I have promised myself to make the most of this week that the kids are out of school and do some fun things with them. Many days I find myself going to bed and wishing that I had spent more time just playing. Today we did "Pumpkin Pie Play Dough." The boys had fun making a whole pumpkin patch- and the best part is how yummy the play dough smells!! Just like pumpkin pie. A fun, quick activity- with minimal clean-up- I give it two thumbs up!This is a true Jake shot- not prompted at all. He really loved the way it smelled!
Here is tomorrows activity- one of my assignments for Thanksgiving dinner is rolls- so I thought this would be perfect.
