Gathered thoughts

Welcome November

November is usually a time when throughout the month on various platforms, you will see daily gratitude for the whole month 🍁
.
I always go into the month excited to share all the wonderful blessings each day . Somewhere into the month, life happens and I miss a day , then several , then I just try to finish the month so I can be done with the whole thing
.
What started out as a good thing, usually leaves me with feelings of not so grateful by the time it is done
.
This morning, as we prepare in a hotel in Tennessee,to go to a funeral we never dreamed we would be at this soon , the thoughts of gratefulness flood my mind
.
Our thankfulness today is the hope that God gave us through His Son , Jesus. Because of Jesus,
this isn’t goodbye, it’s “I’ll see you again” and for that we are so thankful 🍁
.
I’m not going to plan on posting daily , but I am hoping to post when there are these moments of gratitude that I don’t want to miss ,show up ❤️Not doing a checklist of completion , but some gathered moments of gratefulness 🍁

Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. Whoever believes in me, though he die, yet shall he live, 26 and everyone who lives and believes in me shall never die. Do you believe this?” (‭‭John‬ ‭11‬‬:‭25-26‬ ESV)

Frankenstein Math

We made these adorable Frankensteins for our Fall party this past week 🍁
.
How cute are these???
.
The littles each had their own dice to roll and as they rolled their number it determined what to glue onto their Frankenstein



.
This was the perfect game for the party .It was so fun to see how they all made their Frankensteins their own by putting the hair up to be spiked or the scar on the cheek .. they had fun being creative and they were all unique

.
I found this cute idea from
@housingaforest ❤️She has lots of other fun ideas on her website including this one

Leaf Graphing

Leaf Graphing 🍁
.
We had so much fun doing this! The littles were able to get outside and search for leaves 🍃 The colors this time of year are so beautiful! They found leaves of all shapes and sizes which added to the fun


.
We then went in and dried them off and then sorted them.



.
It was a fun way to enjoy the season as we did math 🍁
