Kindergarten Thanksgiving Feast

Jack had his "Thanksgiving Feast" at school this morning. Kate volunteered us to make some of the Turkey sandwiches for it, and I went in to help. Actually, Jack made the sandwiches. He was pretty disappointed, though, because we were under strict orders about what went on them because of nut allergies in the class.

Jack: Mommy, uhhh, what about cheese?
Kate: No, no cheese.
J: Well, where is the mayonnaise?
K: Just turkey, no mayo.
J: So, we can't put cheese or mayonnaise on them? And it isn't nut and seed bread?
K: No.
J: Ew.

He still had a grand time and enjoyed it. All of the kids were dressed up like either "Pilgrims" or "Native Americans." Jack chose to be a Pilgrim, which kind of surprised me. Amelie went with me and she was mad because she did not get to dress up. She kept asking where the "Tanksgiving Mermaids" were, and that was what kind of costume she would pick. (I don't remember Mermaids in the Thanksgiving story. Disney version, maybe?) She was really good, though, because the other Moms kept sneaking her treats, like Oreos.

Jack is still young enough that he thought it was cool that his Dad and little sister were visiting him at school. He kept showing us off to his friends, with his chest all puffed out.

At the end, they sung a little song. (I'm breaking my rule of putting other people's children without their consent on here, but it's too darn cute.)
