Pilgrims and Indians

To kick off the Thanksgiving fun we went to a playgroup and made little Indian outfits. Rhett's was ripped to shreds by the end of the day, but at least I got some cute pictures of it.















I love that Rhett's so cheesy for the pictures. Of course he didn't actually eat Thanksgiving dinner, but he did go out and ride the horses (he can ride all by himself, with Heath walking alongside) and the four wheelers, (he actually drives himself... just kidding).. And after dinner we had races.

At first we just made the kids run, but then Heath, Alan, Dari and I decided to race. Who won? Well, technically it was Alan, but his legs are twice as long as mine so really I'm much faster than him and if Heath wasn't pushing me back, I probably could have done better than the one second I lost by. So if we really have to name a winner I'd have to go with me....Then I saw cat poop on the ground and quit racing, because I really wasn't wearing the shoes for it, so I was going barefoot and the bragging rights suddenly just weren't worth it. But I'll brag anyway. I'm just dang fast...

Later that day we went to my parents house and played a game... Would you rather? Wow. My family gets so competitive. Most the time it's funny, but sometimes it just ends in a fight. This one was bordering. It asked questions like, "Would you rather sleep every night in jeans and shoes or in a motorcycle helmet?" Motorcycle helmet right?? I was outvoted on that one.. Really..shoes???? "Would you rather have a bottle cap stuck on the tip of your tongue for a week or a bean shoved up one nostril?" That one was close but the majority went with bottlecap, which seemed like the best answer to me. The one that almost pushed us over the edge was "Would you rather have your wife disappointed in you for something you really did or your child disappointed in you for three years over something you didn't really do?" We were still debating it forever after the game was over...So I want to know, what would you choose?? Think it over, ask your spouse what he or she would choose... you might be surprised!!Remember to report back to me and tell me what you came up with!!!

Trish - What a great idea for kids on Thanksgiving.Rhett & Bree are so cute. I do have a FHE book left. Unfortunatly, I am not going to the Edwards party, but Austin & Jene are. I will get the book to them, and let them know to give it to you. They are $12.00.
