Anna Grace's Thanksgiving Play

A few weeks after school started in September I received a phone call from Anna Grace's teacher at school asking me to be the room mother of her class. I was the room mother for AG's late three's class two years ago, so I accepted the request. I figured it would be about the same as the last time - the main job I had was calling parents to help bring food to the holiday parties.

So, imagine my surprise when AG's teacher asked me to come in and meet with her about the pilgrim costumes I needed to make for the children to wear in the Thanksgiving play at school. The What?? Does it require sewing?? When did I agree to this?? These were all questions that quickly ran through my head. I was relieved when I saw that the bonnets, hats, and collars required no sewing; just some staples, scissors and glue. Now I could handle that!

Remember last week when AG was sick?? Well, in addition to decorating my house for Christmas, I also made pilgrim costumes for the Thanksgiving play at AG's school. They turned out well and the kids did fabulous in the play!
AG's teacher is from Scotland and she has family in town visiting for the week, so she wasn't at school on Friday. Guess who was the substitute teacher?? Yes, it was me. I enjoyed the day spending time with AG and her friends.

Time to line up and walk to the fellowship hall.


Is it time to go in yet?

Happy Thanksgiving!!
