"How to Cook a Turkey Dinner! Fully Illustrated and Idiot Proof!"

sorry we haven't posted in what seems like forever...we hope we haven't let you down. november has flown by with december coming oh so quickly. i will be posting more pictures tomorrow of when the snow family came to visit us over thanksgiving break, but for now i thought i would leave you with a little website i like to think of as "the idiot's guide to cooking a turkey." let me just tell you that it is a wonderful website-believe me i used it to make my first turkey. also just a little reminder that the little present of giblets is up the opposite end of the bird :). have no fear they were fully cooked for dad denouden to enjoy.

the week of craziness

I have survived what I believe to be the craziest week in my first year of teaching so far. Reasons why? #1 Fall Town Hall #2 The earthquake #3 Pumpkin Day (my replacement for celebrating Halloween) #4 Operation Christmas Child #5 Report Cards. Let me just say having Halloween Day be the day after an Earthquake makes for a crazy day in the classroom. Here are some pictures to show you some of the fun we had this week in room 6. Did I mention we had park ranger on a horse come to us on Thursday as well? Oh yes it was a big hit with the kids. Our story out of our textbook this week was about a park ranger.
