This year we are covering the windows in our dining room with construction paper leaves. The leaves have carefully written on each of them something that the kids are thankful for. Last year we made a chain out of Christmas scrapbook paper with something they were thankful for on each link. The chain was started shortly before Thanksgiving and was added on to until Christmas. It was fun to watch the chain get longer with things that the kids are thankful for. I am not big on decorating for Halloween so the fall leaves on the window is perfect!

Leaves of thankfulness
The leaves are brightly colored and falling to the ground. I love this time of year. I think I have said that before. I wanted to decorate in some way with fall leaves so here is what I have come up with.

I cut out some leaf patterns and gathered a variety of colors of construction paper. I put those items along with scissors, pencils, markers, and a roll of scotch tape in a basket. The kids can add leaves to the windows any time they would like. It is fun to give them an idea and let them take off with it.
What are you thankful for? I am thankful for my family and the time that I have with each of them. I am thankful for my husband and the love and laughter we share. I am thankful for my home and it's warmth and comfort. I am thankful for the provision that my God has provided. He knows the needs and has provided for us each and every day! I am thankful for this and so much more. It is only October but I just can't wait until Thanksgiving to be thankful!
