Turkey Treats, Ow-ies and Pie

We were trying to think of a fun Thanksgiving project we could do with our Young Women for mutual last Wed. night, and I got this fun, easy idea for Turkey Treats from my friend Marti's blog. They were quick enough to do for a mutual activity and the girls seemed to have a fun time doing them. Here are 4 of our YW posing with their masterpieces:

During mutual Josh was having a grand time sitting at the table with the girls and sampling the candy. Until he leaned over in his booster seat and whacked his face, right under his nose, on the edge of the table. It caused some bleeding and crying, but luckily Josh is a tough little guy. He did have a nice scab that looked like a booger to show for it, though. Oh, he also has another scab on his cheek from a nose-dive he did while on our jeeping adventure last week. That was barely a scratch, but it left a nice scab as well (not the first, and I'm sure it won't be the last!):

David left for California for some work training last Sunday night and came back home on Thursday night. To welcome him home I made him a blueberry pie and made my first attempt at the lattice pie crust on top. I was please with how it turned out:

On Saturday Mindy and Chad went to Chad's work party, so Bryant and Karalee got to come over and play. The Turkey Treats were such a hit on Wed. night, and we still had some leftover candy, so we made another batch. Karalee and Josh had fun sampling the candy, but I think Bryant (4) was the perfect age for these, he really had a lot of fun. Here are the kids showing off their masterpieces (you can see that Josh was really into it):
