Most of you know that Piper wasn't ready for preschool afterall. She still wanted to hang out with her Mama.

I'm grateful I can meet her needs by staying home with her, but I'm afraid she'd getting kind of bored now that the weather has turned gray, dreary and cold. (I know I am.)

Lately we've been doing lots of craft projects. This turkey hat is her favorite: http://family.go.com/entertainment/c...-turkey-hat-t/
She's been wearing it as much as possible and tries to stretch the head down so she can talk to it. We went on a walk last week to collect leaves and ironed them in wax paper using the instructions here: http://en.allexperts.com/q/Arts-Craf...ing-leaves.htm

Yesterday I simply traced her hand with a marker to make a turkey shape. Then I let her cut out little pieces of colored paper and glue the pieces onto the turkey to make a mosaic pattern. She loves to cut and paste so I figured that plays to her strengths.
