Introducing "Ice Dancer"

Jake's class Thanksgiving party this year was so sweet. They had a dad (Spence Flatgaurd) dress as a Pilgrim and tell the children about the first Thanksgiving. All the children made Thanksgiving place mats and Indian headdresses. Each child got to choose an Indian name for the party. Of all the names to choose from, our always an original Jake chose the name "Ice Dancer"! Why, you ask-as did Mrs. Pringle-(and here's a direct quote from Jake) "Because I'm a good dancer!"

Here's Mr. Ice Dancer himself in his headdress.


All the children waiting to hear from Pilgrim Flatgaurd.


Straight off the Mayflower...Pilgrim Spence Flatgaurd
His costume was hilarious and I gotta give him credit for having the nerve to do what he did. The children loved him. But he was dressed in black sweat pants and sweat shirt, black dress shoes with homemade white buckles, and some type of white cloth to go over his shoulders. It was a sight to say the least!! (My Xan wouldn't be caught dead doing something like this and I cannot express enough how proud that makes me!!)

After story time with Pilgrim Flatgaurd, they came back to their room and dove into their goodies!

Caught him with food in his mouth!

Sweet sweet Mary Robinson. Poor thing has to sit at a table full of boys!

And of course, how could I post a school picture without these two together. Jake and Ben!

I am having the best time with Jake being in Kindergarten. All that he is learning and all his little friends make this such a precious time. The sweetest part of the party was Jake telling everyone in a not so quite voice "My Momma made the cupcakes, my Momma made the cupcakes!!" That's my sweet boy!
