I hope that everyone had a wonderful Halloween! We were lucky enough to never lose power during the hurricane and only lost a few tree branches and trees (thankfully the trees were in our woods so they did not impact our yard or house). We continue to pray for those that have been greatly impacted by the storm and hope for the safety of everyone as they continue to clean up the damage. I am sorry that I have not posted more this week and own’t be through the weekend. It’s been a busy week for us with the hurricane and this weekend we have my baby shower on Saturday and an all-day birthing class on Sunday (both of which I get to go to in a wheel chair… at least I get the chance to be out of the house!!) I can’t wait for my baby shower!! My wonderful Mom, Mother-in-law, and sisters have been planning it for months!
As November begins, I thought I would share a list of some of the top November crafts and activities I have found while browsing Pinterest. I love looking for fun holiday hands-on activities for kids. I wish I could be as creative as these bloggers! The crafts below can be done at home or in the classroom leading up to Thanksgiving. They would also be great to use to keep the kids busy the day of Thanksgiving or during a classroom party (for all you room mom & dads!)
