We spent Monday evening as a family working on a craft project for Kyle's school. It's a tradition at his elementary school that every year all the students grades K-6 get a paper tracing of a turkey shape and they take it home to decorate it in a costume to escape the Thanksgiving Holiday. It's really a neat project, because the whole family gets to be involved figuring out what to "dress" the turkey as and what items we can use that we have around the house. After they are done, the students bring them back in to class and the school hallway walls are lined with decorated turkeys. Some are very creative!!!
This year we decided to "dress" our Turkey as Santa! I had some old candy wrapper foil in black, red, silver and gold and we used buttons with glitter glue, cotton balls to trim his suit and make a beard. We took a mini fudge box and wrapped it to create a present. We were pretty proud of our work. These pictures are horrible as they were taken in the evening with flourescent lighting, but this will give you an idea of the finished project!
So Wednsday, I go to pick up the boys from daycare/preschool and find out that Kyle had a horrible day at school and then proceeded to go fist for fist with another student at daycare. That wasn't all....Joshua was swearing (he said damn, damn, damn) and spent some time out time. Oy-Vay!!!!! SO, at the ripe age of FOUR, Joshua got his first lesson in washing his mouth out with soap! We used ivory...so it wouldn't hurt him. Gene got so upset, when I pulled out the camera in the middle of the "lesson" to take some pictures! How could I resist that poor adorable face with those drooping, I'm so sorry eyes! To our disbelief, he put the soap on his tongue and rubbed back and forth all by HIMSELF!!! Can you believe that?
Here's Gene scolding him to NEVER swear again!
And the after photo! That didn't taste very good Josh did it? He replied, "It didn't taste bad!" So I asked him, "Do you want some more?", reply: A very serious "NO!"
So, I don't think he's gonna be using bad words again in a very long time!
