Shake your tail feathers.....

I have a full house on Thanksgiving. 

 We have 4 childrens and 4 grandchildren.

They all want to know when dinner is ready.  Now I have a 1 ass kitchen, meaning its small and 

my ass is the only one that should be in it......LOL

If I could change one thing about our house....

it would a much much much larger  kitchen.  

So, to keep all the hands and asses out of my kitchen I like to get the others involved in something creative.

We set up a fold out table for the kiddies to eat on and its also the hub of creativity before hand.  I use butcher paper for the "tablecloth" and give them all crayons to draw on the paper with.  

I also include games and activities for them to play. 

I also have some sort of craft for the 'mommies' to help the younger ones with. 

{shhhhh don't tell them but its to keep them out of my kitchen too...bwahahahahahaha}

Below is a game for the wee ones to have fun with. 

I didn't come up with this; 

I saw it on the web somewhere and loved it.

The idea is to give each player a featherless turkey and then 6 (feathers) clothespins.

They take turns rolling the die and the first person to shake his tail feathers win....

or you could have a "feathered" turkey and the first one to pluck him for dinner is the winner.  Cute huh??????

I think we are going to play to first game and they have to actually stand up and shake their butts when they complete the turkey.....

(I made 6 of these, just in case one of the moms/dads want to play)

I cut out everything by hand using scissors and 

some chipboard for stability,

 then I covered with cardstock. 

Oh, except for the hands.....

that was cut out using a mickey mouse die and my Big Shot.

Added some googly eggs.

I have a small flip flop punch and

 I used the thong part for the wishbone.

{to give them all good luck while playing}

I painted the clothes pins and now the turkey is ready to 

"Shake his tail feathers"

Bwahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!!

Until later turkeys......Gotta split......TFL!!!!!!
