Turkey's With Leaves & More Poppies

I decided to do a spin off of the owls that we made for Halloween and make turkey's the leaves are almost all finished changing colors but there are still a few beautiful trees on our street. E and I had to walk a ways to gather up these beauties but it was so worth it. 

I liked the owls better but these turned out really well. They are a wonderful way to use up scrap paper!

Every time I see a red maple leaf it makes me ache for Canada. I love my country very much!

Tuesday:

It being Remembrance Day we decided to do another poppy craft. These were a piece of cake to make. 

Thursday:

Then we made another kind of turkey. E was pretty excited about painting!

We were pretty impatient waiting for the paint to dry so we stuck it over the heat register. 

Sometimes it "accidentally" flew away. :)

E helped me match all the leaves by size, shape and color. Then we hot glued them on. I think this is my favorite craft o far! 

These leaves were brilliant. You couldn't buy leaves prettier than this! 

I am loving fall in Nashville. It is breath taking!

Remembrance Day Poppy

 By Friday E was itching for a craft. A girl after her mother's heart. Since Remembrance Day (Veterans Day in the states) is coming up I decided that we would make a poppy. In Canada we wear poppy's over our hearts on Remembrance Day. They are to remind us of Flanders Fields and the war.

 E had a great time making her poppy and was excited that it was the same as the one that Mama and Daddy wear. 

 I am so excited for the weekend and for some quality time with Daddy. Only two more weeks until Gramma Tobler comes (or as E calls her "Grammy.") I can't believe that November is almost half way over?!
