I’m on Day Two of my four day weekend. Yesterday went by entirely too fast. This does not bode well. This morning, I had to take the hubby in for round two of the permanent situation that will prevent us from populating the world. So for the rest of the day, I am at his beck and call. And I have the very important job of rotating the frozen bags of peas. It is a FUN FILLED day in our house, let me tell ya. I did convince him (convince is the wrong word because I just suggested it and he agreed) to watch the Twilight movies with me . . . and this just tells me that his pain medication is working wonders.
Well, it appears that you all liked the Scarecrow poem so I thought I should get you a Thanksgiving poem. This is going against some of you who asked for Christmas poems. It is not time yet. I can’t. I’m freaking OUT about it. Also, I have decided to write a disclaimer about this poem for vegetarians and/or vegans. Just so that no one gets upset with me. I’m covering my booty. Or boot-ay. (or my big ole behind that gets bigger as I continue to sit on the couch blogging)
Disclaimer – no actual turkeys were harmed during the typing of this post.
And, just for the record, I LOVE turkey sandwiches. They are my go-to sandwich. Add some bacon and a little too much mayo and I’m a satisfied girl. Also, I appreciate it a lot more if the bread is fresh and someone makes it for me. Like Jersey Mike. However, carved turkey on Thanksgiving is not my fave. It’s too thick. Or it gets cold too fast. Or it needs good gravy. It’s just high maintenance! So I’d rather have some ham. From a pig. With honey baked goodness. And you can just deliver it right to me on the front porch. DEE-LISH.
I got a little side tracked. And now I’m hungry.
Anyways, click the pics to download. And you can get the black and white version {HERE} and the black and white word cards {HERE}.
If you want a “recording sheet” for this center, students can fill in the missing sight words.
Again, click the pic if you like it. And then leave me some love or like. Cuz I love and like it when you do! 🙂
Duty calls – time to change the peas. Don’t you think the wife should get some medication?
I can't fly you in to visit me when you have wifey duties calling… I mean changing the peas out is really important!!! Poor hubby hope he feels better soon!!!

It's hard to type when I am laughing so hard! (Actually I'm bad at typing, but good at laughing.)
I love to read your posts–even though most of my teeny tiny kids are actually hulking sixth graders. I always leave your site happy!

Sending you some "LOVE, LOVE< LOVE" for your delightful poem, cards and response sheet! I hope hubby makes a good recovery but not until after you have had some good movie time together! Again you delight me without fail with every blog!! Thanks a million for starting my Saturday with a good laugh!
I love your worksheet that goes with the poem! Thanks for sharing.

Thank you! I love those, and I will look forward to the Christmas one whenever you feel it is time:)

Going Nutty!

Love reading your blog, always makes me smile, you say what I am thinking so often ! Williams Cafe here in town makes the best turkey with apple, cheddar and cranberries, the best ! I love turkey sandwiches more than turkey dinner too, ham is my fav. Enjoy your long weekend…just got home from wine tasting in the Niagara region…it was fun but I am stuffed and tired from a great day of shopping, sipping…..
Love the poems! I'm not a very good nurse – I don't know why. I'm a good nurse for about a day, maybe two…but anything more than that and I'm like "Get your own darn peas"…sorry hubby {and you} had to go threw it twice.
Just so you don't think I'm a big 'ol meanie, you know hubby has been dealing with a bum back for a long time now…and I think that's why I'm so "movin' on…"
Thanks for being YOU!

I do know it's "through" not "threw" freudian slip? {I actually threw the bag of peas at him after day 2} just kidding, of course!!! 😉

I am literally laughing out loud! My hubby never went back for the second round, so we lived through a few years of "Oops! Wonder if we made another baby?!" Our oldest son (now 18) received the birds-and-bees talk as I dropped the frozen peas—yes, we used peas, too!–on his daddy's prized jewels. Neither of them will ever forget it. 🙂
THANK YOU for the poems! My kindlers built the scarecrow poem yesterday and they truly enjoyed coloring the clipart. Most of them created patterns on the fence and I praised them for using their math skills during word work. We've been discussing the use of color in our illustrations; you would be proud to see the explosion of colors on your handiwork!
Wish you lived close enough to see the new Twilight film with me next Friday! My 13 yr-old daughter is boycotting my tagging along with her crew. So, please post a critic's corner review after you see the film! I know you will have great things to say!

Sending you LOTS of love for these downloads! This will be PERFECT for my kinders as a whole group then independent practice lesson.
I also wait for you to post. Your posts always make me laugh out loud.
I am thankful for you and your blog!
Love the poetry centers– thanks so much for sharing!
TOTALLY agree about slices of turkey off the bird!
LOVE the Thanksgiving poem, and I'm sure my kids will, too – thank you! I would definitely like more poems. 🙂
holy smokes…you have a billion comments…
hey I want to email you something special for your indian paintbrush story!!!
email me reagan.tunstall@gmail.com
I really love this poem and the sight word activity.
I would love for you to link this post to my Thanksgiving Traditions link up on Thursday!
Thanks so much!! 🙂
snatched these poems right up! Thank you and please share more!
So funny! This has made me laugh out loud so many times tonight my daughter wanted to read it also. She is 8 years old- "Peeps and Chicks??!!" a little over her head. I am so glad your sister got you into blogging. I am so not looking foward to my husband having this done. I have made an apt for myself and he said NO, I will do it. However, our youngest is 4… and still…
Thanks,
Leah
