We are thankful for fussing

Today Isaac's class gave us dinner and a show in honor of Thanksgiving. First the kids paraded in front of us wearing handmade native headdresses before serenading us with beautiful songs and poems they had learned. Well, perhaps some of the kids did. When it comes to my kid and I say "serenading," I mean "making an unholy fuss, with help from his curious brother." There was so much screaming and fighting between Jacob and Isaac (and absolutely no one else in the entire room) that at one point we actually held up the start of a song until they could SHUT UP. I tried my best to record this awesome moment in parenting history; what you get is a video pieced together from three videos. Each fade-out represents where I had to stop recording to intervene.



After that delightful display, we were all invited back to the classroom for a Thanksgiving Feast, AKA preschooler-prepared snack buffet.




With their mouths full of cookies, they could finally behave.
