Thanksgiving Turkey out of fruit ~ Healthy Finger Foods and recipes

11/15/2012 6:00 pm · 0 comments

Thanks to Spoonful for sharing this FUN and HEALTHY snack idea for Thanksgiving! My kids would LOVE this! Make sure you check out Spoonful for even more recipes!

What you’ll need

  • Apple
  • Clementine or navel orange
  • Pear
  • Dried apricot
  • Peanut butter or cream cheese
  • Mini chocolate chips
  • Nut (we used a cashew)
  • Dried cranberry

How to make it

  1. Arrange apple and clementine or navel orange slices on a plate as shown, and lay a cored pear half on top.
  2. Use scissors to halve a dried apricot, then snip small triangles from each half and tuck them under the pear to form the feet.
  3. Finally, use peanut butter or softened cream cheese to attach mini chocolate chip eyes, a nut beak, and a dried cranberry snood.

Our Family Swim/Fun Night at the YMCA!!!! I think everyone that came had a GREAT TIME!!!!!!  Thanks again Christy and Nick and all the YMCA lifeguards and staff.  
 November 5, 2012:  Monday  Jr. High 2:45-3:30

Well with today being the last day, we did our last assessment for the fall and the kids really improved their times from the first assessment back in Sept.  Very proud of them all.  Keep on working out throughout the Winter and see you in the Spring.





November 7, 2012:  South  2:45-3:30

Last Wednesday until the Spring.  Just like the Jr. High, these kids really improved their assessment times as well.  We had a girl hold a plank for 15 minutes!!!!! Good Job Riley :)  Well keep on working out throughout the Winter and see you all in the Spring.  Keep looking at the blog, I will try and keep it posted with fun things for the families and recipes that you all can try.  What a wonderful 8 weeks it has been.  

Thanks again parents for letting your child participate the program and hope they come back for the Spring.

Monday  Oct. 29, 2012- Jr. High    2:45-3:30

We started out with our warm-up and since it was cold outside, we ran 4 laps inside.  The gym was in use which was perfect for what I wanted to do with the kids.  We did an activity that you can actually do anywhere in a small space and still get a great workout.  
This workout I found on a blog.  All it uses is a deck of cards.  Even if you don't have a deck of cards, you can still do this.  

If you don't have cards, you will do 2 rounds of this.  Do 15 of each exercise and when you get through, you go through it again.
2- 15 jump squats
2- 15 jumping jacks
2- alternating jump jacks
2- high knees
2- mountain climbers
2- running butt kicks
2- wide push-ups
2- jumping jacks
2- bicycle crunches

If you have cards, K, Q, J all equal 10 and A equals 1 or 11, all other cards 2-10 equal that number.
Flip over 3 cards and do however many it says:  ex:  you flip a 5, 7, and a K= 22 jumping squats,
Flip over 3 more cards, 2, A, K= you could make it 13, or make it 23 jumping jacks.
Do all nine exercises, give yourself about a minute break and do another set.
Add your own set of exercises if you get bored with these.
At the end, I gave the Jr. High kids each a set of cards with these exercises and told them that throughout the winter, this is something that they could do with their families.
Ended with a cool down.  Yes, they were all sweating :)    
      



Wednesday  Oct. 31, 2012- South School   2:45-3:30

With today being there "Special Day", I did promise them kickball.  Wish we could have played it outside but with the weather being a little cool and windy, we played inside the gym.  



 

  Friday Nov. 1, 2012-  YMCA   2:30-4:40

Today was Dance Day Friday!!  A BIG thanks goes out to Courtney Long who showed the Goal Getters some awesome dances.  I was surprised to see that EVERYONE was trying out the dance moves.  She had some wonderful games that also got the kids moving while still having fun.  
Don't forget that next Friday Nov. 9, WE WILL NOT BE GOING TO THE Y.  WE WILL HAVE OUR FAMILY SWIM PARTY FROM 6:30P.M. - 8:30 P.M.
