| Sean pulled two names out of two boxes and his Indian name was "Happy Eagle". Much better than Vanessa who became "Sly Snake." Each year they have a Thanksgiving feast at the school. Last year we missed it because Sean had pneumonia. There were a lot more parents volunteering this year than in the past which made it run much smoother. |

| Happy Eagle and the not so happy pilgrim Taya. It's tough when you only like Spaghetti O's. |

| The funniest part of the feast was the kids crossing the ocean in the Mayflower. The ocean consisted of blue fabric stretched between the two classrooms. The kids were pulled across the ocean in their ship. The part that made me laugh is that some of the Indians insisted on being pulled across the ocean in the Mayflower as well. I tried to explain to the Indians that they were supposed to be waiting in the new world for the white people to arrive and give them small pox and steal their land. They didn't care they still wanted to ride in the boat. Sean was much to mature to be pulled around in a plastic storage bin. Sad, last year he would have been all over that. |

| A happy little pilgrim.

Last night I asked Sean what he wanted for his night time snack. He thought a minute and then asked "do we have any celery?" Seriously, celery! We did have celery and that is what he had, celery with peanut butter and a glass of milk.
