L's school had a Thanksgiving feast today and all the parents were invited. I had just gotten off of working graveyard shift for the last two days and was preparing to go back on days tomorrow and was trying to figure out whether to go right to bed or force myself to stay up till evening. I figured hanging out with a bunch of 5-year-olds eating turkey and pumpkin pie sounded like the right way to go. The kids got to wear costumes that they made; L had been prepping me for it for several days. "I get to be a pilgrim," she said. "Some of the kids get to be pilgrims, and some get to be Indians, and some get to be Native Americans."
They held it in the school library and it actually was pretty cute. All the kids were amped to have their parents there, and N was allowed to sit in and feast away too. They had a real turkey and all the trimmings, complete with pumpkin pie and whipped cream for dessert! Each place at the table had a pretty thoughtful and creative place marker. It was a lunchtime shindig, so it only lasted about an hour and the kids were then marched back to their classroom for the rest of the afternoon, but it was fun seeing L and all of her classmates and meeting some of the parents. Usually only Stacy has the chance to do this kind of stuff.
