Let's Talk Turkey

The boys and I got into the festive mood a day early and made these Oreo turkeys. Too bad I was wrapping up the Tour de No Sugar, or believe you me, I would have annihilated those candy corn turkey feathers. I have never deliberately passed up a candy corn. Except that crazy Indian corn. I no likee.That eye there on the left looks a little like it might start crying. I am not sure why I was so emotional about that those turkeys. Maybe I was just sad that they had to give their little lives to us Shafers so that we could remember to be grateful for junk food.

Poor, poor Calvin. As you might gather from the picture, it was surely no accident that his turkey was broken into a thousand pieces. It wasn't me. I didn't break it, but I know a three year old that might have. W-Y-A-T-T. He ain't no respecter of handmade crafts.

Do you see that Meemaw covered in Grandkid boys and babies????? I can't tell who was happier, the sleeping baby, older brothers, or Meemaw.
Pipaw. Or as the boys say, Peep. He is waaaaayyyyyyy fun. Not to out him or anything, but you only wish that you could make up songs on the fly like he does.


I'm thankful for my family. And that I am finally done with that "No Sugar" junk. 6 weeks is too long to live without the good stuff.

Aren't you glad "we" found the cookie recipe. They turned out really cute! I wish I would have taken the time to make them for Thanksgiving, they would have been a hit at my house too. Oh well, maybe next year
