Thanksgiving Art

 As part of a fun Thanksgiving art project, kids were tasked with taking a stencil of a turkey and then disguising it as something else... so the turkey wouldn't get captured and eaten for Thanksgiving.

As we were all shocked (not), Ramsey wanted his turkey to be a soldier.   I found some camo fabric that I had from another project and we went to work.  I helped cut out the fabric, as it was really difficult to cut.

Ramsey cut out a Delta Force patch to place on the turkey's arm, plus a US flag.  Sidenote: Ramsey's DREAM is to go to West Point and then someday become part of Delta Force!   Big dreams, but he knows he can do anything he puts his mind to.  😉

At school, the second part of the assignment was to write what the turkey would be saying, trying to convince all that he was NOT a turkey.   It seemed as though he channeled Gunny Sargeant R. Lee Ermey with a bit of an "angry defensive slant"!! 

"Hello!  I'm not a turkey as you can see... I'm in the US Armed Forces!  Why did you think I was a turkey?  I am defending the USA!  If you eat me, your country won't be safe from enemies!  But, you can always change your mind if you want a happy country!  You made up your mind, right?  So, what's it gonna be - the food, or the country?  So leave me alone, I got to go to another battle!"   🤣
