We are discovering the real meaning of Thanksgiving today…
watching movies!
No wait! That is to say we pulled out our old Charlie Brown Thanksgiving disc and after the TV version of Charlie Brown’s Thanksgiving with toast and popcorn they show the real meaning of Thanksgiving in a hidden Charlie Brown skit.
For instance, do you remember there were close to 100 Indians at the first thanksgiving celebration? And a lot of them already spoke English? And people from England, hunters and fisherman, had already been making trips over to the new land before the Mayflower?
Its true! The Great Pumpkin says it is!
So if you are a little curious? Or the kids are getting restless and you want to cool them down? Or just want to relive a childhood classic,
HERE is the real story of Thanksgiving…. as told by Charles Schultz.
We have a lot to be thankful for this year.
I trust you do too.
Not the least of which is YOU right now.
Yes YOU!
You are all such fun and interesting people!
Thanks for making the time to stop by 3D,even if you were only lost.
I really do appreciate it.
It’s great to see you and even better to hear from you below!(hint, hint)
I know a few of you have been wondering about trick or treat costumes. But it wasn’t until I received this little gem from the archives of Grandma WaWa that I realized what great memories are made with these things.
Remember this one? I think that was our oldest’s very first Halloween.
Grandma WaWa thinks this one’s adorable. She ain’t lion’!
Here are this year’s outfits. We are posing with our neighbors first.
Their youngest may have been the cutest this year in her Dory outfit.
Can you find Dory?
Here is another with one of Dylan’s friends we ran into.
And I really enjoy trick our treating in our new neighborhood. These folks get more excited for Halloween in their front yards than we do for Christmas.
We never had any houses decked out like this when I was a kid! I never thought of ‘Lights’ for Halloween before we moved here.
Speaking of our neighborhood, we are getting a new one….
Right behind my house! Last week they started clearing out trees for the 100 houses being built, starting right behind us.
Remember this scene from last week’s storm?
This is will be the new and evolving backdrop now.
Its sad.
Just getting started. Pulling the trees out of the ground like twigs…
Other things going on…
The school held their monthly PTA rally by dragging inviting the 3rd graders in for a presentation. We captured this little gem below.
For years I have mentioned Dylan’s ‘happy-go-lucky’ demeanor.Here is a good example captured in this video as they sing Rockin’ Robin. (sorry again for inflicting ‘kid videos’ on all you non-family readers)
That’s her! She has always been that way. She helps her sister, cleans her sister’s room, picks up trash while trick or treating and more. A great kid!
Thank you God!
Speaking of pimping out my blog, it is Fundraiser time at their school.
It is the annual Fun Run this time where the youngsters are asked to get $1 pledges for how many laps they can do around the school’s track.
The organization made a crafty way to get you involved and help separate you from your money with some cute videos, Starring our little Angels.
These videos are adorable, if not identical. And so if you can stomach one or two more kid videos check these fun ones out below.
Then, if you feel led, or inspired, or sorry enough for one of our young ones please donate to them to help their school. The school gets some good cash (help keeping our taxes down) and our girls get prizes for when they hit their target of $10 per lap.
So here is Skylar’s Dashboard and ‘Star Video; the Greatest Star in Hollywood:
