Turkey, Toby and GRITS!

OK. You are wondering why there is a turkey right beside me. Well, it is a long story. Mom got enough Ingles points to get a free Butterball turkey. Note to self....what in the wide wide world does Butterball mean? Anyway, we have had it in the freezer since Thanksgiving and mom put it in the fridge on Monday to thaw. So we got it out today and I helped her get it ready to put in the oven. I'm not sure what I was about to get myself into.

Here are mom's turkey helpers. I wonder what Will was thinking about this bird?
I'm looking at the guts, the breastbone, the backbone, the thigh and the wings. NOT! I was actually looking at the bag of stuff that was inside the bird.

Mom made me stick my hand up in there to get the bag of GUTS out!

Here I am with the turkey after it came out of the oven. Looks pretty good. It was good. All because of me, your furry old pal Beckett.

Why does my post title include Toby and GRITS? Because of my new playlist songs by Toby Mac and GRITS! Enjoy and....

I Like to Move It Move It (with Santa)

The other night we watched Merry Madagascar and I really liked the new version of "Move It, Move It!" Check out Santa! The song starts at about 58 seconds in to the video!

Fun 4 Weeks!

Hey everybody! Sorry that I haven't posted in a while. Here are some pictures from the last four weeks. I went ice skating with my enrichment class. Here is a picture of Helen and me. I have my ice skates on in this picture. I had just gotten off the ice. It was very fun. I learned how to ice skate.

A few hours later, we got our costumes on and went to the Fall Frenzy II at our church. I was Captain Rex from Star Wars; The Clone Wars. Will was a pumpkin. Helen was Tinkerbell. This is a picture of Will.
This is Helen and me with our friends the Baileys. Wheat is Waluigi with the purple hat, Lake is Mario with the red hat on and River is Luigi with the green hat. Cool costumes, huh?

Captain Rex and Mario!

This past weekend, my cousin Connor spent the night with us on Friday night. He brought all of his Wii games and we played a lot of Wii!
This is us playing MX vs. ATV. It is very fun!

Lillie also spent the night with us. This is Will in the shopping cart with Helen and Lillie in their pajamas!

Rock on!

Three Wild Things at the Zoo!

On Monday we went to the zoo. Will had never been to our zoo and I think he liked it. Here are some pictures of our day.

Helen and I got to brush the goats. They let some sheep come in to the pen while we were in there and it scared Helen. She screamed and one of the rules was not to scream. We left the area after that. Wonder who that other kid is on the left? I've got no clue!

BIG FAT BEAR! We got to see almost all of the animals up close because it was such a nice day. This bear was huge! This is a black bear and these are the kind of bears that live in the Smoky Mountains near us!
This year in Science we are studying Zoology and the "Flying Creatures of the Fifth Day". We saw this sandhill crane at the zoo. It lives in Canada and migrates through Tennessee to the south sometime in the next month or so. You can see a bunch of them at the Hiwassee Wildlife Refuge during that time. We might go see them when they migrate soon. It eats insects, worms, fruit, plants and amphibians. I am learning all about them in my Birds of Tennessee field guide. We got so close to the gorilla that we could scratch his back!
Just kidding! There was some glass between us. The gorilla got mad and smacked the glass at me. It scared me to death. We also got to see baby George. He is the newest addition to the chimpanzee family but we didn't get a picture of him. He was very cute!
We saw an elephant up close. We watched him eat some hay out of a little net bag.

This is me driving the jeep on a safari.

This is Helen driving Will and me up to the giraffes!

We went into a section about barn animals and saw some owls.They eat mammals, birds, fish, reptiles and amphibians. Here are three barred owls!

ROCK ON WILD THINGS!

My Brother Will

Hello Everybody! I'm back again. I know it's been a long time since I have posted. Last Wednesday I did a presentation about Will for my Enrichment Class. I wanted to take Will in my backpack, but that wouldn't work. Then I thought I could take him in a box and clap my hands and he would appear, but that wouldn't work. So, I just did a poster with a few pictures and talked about Will. Here is the video of me doing the presentation at home last Wednesday afternoon! You will have to pause the music on my play list so you can hear what I said! The playlist is all the way at the bottom of my page.

ROCK ON!
