and we all still have our fingers!


today gabe's class had their prep day for their big thanksgiving feast! when mr. davis first contacted me to put together a team of parents for prep day, i just assumed the prep would be done by the parents...assuming has once again fooled me! so, today a group of 25 second graders were armed with veggie peelers and paring knives...oh yes, you read me right, knives! fortunately the only casualty was my child---he gets his gracefulness from his dear old mom! the kids actually did a great job...they were very careful, and really listened when one of the parents would tell them a "safer" way to do something! shawn had the day off, so he came along for the slicin' and dicin' fun! the soup will simmer all night and tomorrow we go back for the big taste test! the kids are very excited to see how all their hard work will taste..and to be honest so am i! i'll let you know!
