Happy Thanksgiving!

Yesterday Henry had a feast at school for Thanksgiving. "Feast" was the word to describe it. They ate with the other class and had small pizzas with no crust that didn't require any cutting up into pieces, carrot sticks and juice. Somehow Henry ended up stepping into the dip for the carrots. He didn't tell us how that happened. Afterwards Meg and the kids went to Target. Meg got Henry and Hazel a small Christmas tree with lights on it. They are very excited about it. It's now up in Henry's room. Henry's most proud of his ability to "turn it on" (plug it in). Not sure how excited I am about him and plugs, but I guess one has to start sometime.

Meg e-mailed me this cute story on Monday:

Owen was yelling that he wanted juice, but Lauren didn't get it right away because she was busy. So Griffin said to Owen, "You need to yell louder. She can't hear you." (she could) Owen subsequently started yelling very loudly that he wanted juice. Still no response from Lauren, so Henry piped up with, "You need to use your manners and say 'please'." Owen put the two together and yelled that he wanted juice, please. :)

When I got home yesterday I got a nice surprise from Henry he ran up to me saying, "Nonnie got Hazel new clothes! School was good!" Best of all Henry himself was in new pajamas! Somehow Meg used Hazel getting new fluffy clothes (some cute fleece wear) to convince Henry to not wear his same old pajamas to bed! It's miracle. I think he's worn the same pajamas for five months now. That's a lot of washing of the same set of clothes!

Last night's coins were pretty boring.

That's the second most Wheats I've come across in one sitting! These came mostly from fourteen rolls that were all from the same customer. The Indian Head was unrelated to this hoard. It's in very good shape. I also got a clipped penny.
