Reuben walked into the room today reading from a blank paper. He was reading a poem he "wrote". This is his attempt to sweet talk his way into getting another turkey (while very cute, it didn't work).
Yum YumDear Mommy, Dear Mommy

Mom had a counter poem for him:
Nice Try
Dear Reuben, Dear Reuben
You already ate two turkeys, turkey
The rest are for others, others.

Kristen saw these on a website and decided to make them. She has been dreaming of ways to make them for the past 4 days and finally sat down with a friend to make them. After working late into the night/early morning, she finished and we all enjoyed chowing down on them the following day. I speak for all of us when I say that Kristen is the best. We are so lucky she loves to do such fun things that we all can enjoy.
We were able to go to the Great Lakes Science Center on Friday to celebrate our friend's birthday. It was such a fun place! Here the kids are enjoying the ball pit. We are going to definitely going to go back with Kaitlyn and Reuben. We love our zoo pass it has royalties to lots of fun places like this!
My quilt guild started a challenge for the year. We had to come up with a block that was 12-14 inches square and bring it to our next meeting in a paper bag. This is the block which I did. Every month the bags with blocks will be passed around to a new person to put on another border around this main block. This month our task is to put on a four inch border with some kind of corner squares. We won't be able to see our quilt until June. I can't wait to see how they turn out!
Cleveland weather has arrived in full style. It is a beautiful 27 degrees outside with lots of wind and snow. This weather always makes me want a cup of hot chocolate!
Evie is the master artist behind this turkey. She is really getting into drawing. I love it!
