Gobble gobble!

With one week to go until Thanksgiving and my last week home on maternity leave, I had both boys do a turkey footprint to get in the spirit!

It was easy and lots of fun!

What you need:
- 6-7 different scrapbook pages or construction paper to make feathers.
- Brown paint.
- 2 sets of eyes.
- Crayons to make the turkey feet, nose, and gizzard.

And ouila!  You have a turkey footprint with scrapbook feathers!

And since we were in the mood for Thanksgiving, we decided to have a "breakfast for dinner" night last night and made some Pumpkin Spice Pancakes!  These were a great idea since I'm still dairy-free.  With some scrambled eggs and sausage patties to go with them, they were delicious!

Here's what I did:

I took my box of Hungry Jack Wheat Blends Pancake Mix (which is dairy free by the way!) and followed the directions on the box for 2 cups of pancake mix and 1 1/2 cups of water.

I added the following:
- 3/4 cup of canned pumpkin (Libby's of course!)
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon ginger
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves

Mixed it all together, put them on my griddle with some canola oil spray, and sprinkled the top with maple syrup and chopped pecans.  Yum!

One week until Turkey Day!  Gobble gobble!
