In 1939, the movie "The Wizard of Oz" was released on this date. Our family really likes the books by L. Frank Baum, too.

We found a cute idea in "Every Day a Holiday: Celebrations for the Whole Year" by Silvana Clark. We made silver slippers, partially because Dorothy's slippers are silver in the book and partially because we could only find silver glitter. On the non-glittery side, we wrote, "There's no place like home because..." and each kid filled in the blanks.

Ten kids sat in our living room, eating popcorn and watching the movie, and nine of them had just moved back to the Solomon Islands from their passport country. I was curious what the kids would write. Here is Sarah's:

Katherine's said, "There's no place like home because we have people over," and her five-year-old friend's shoe said, "There's no place like home because my friends are here and Kira [the dog]."

We love Wizard of Oz Day too and are celebrating!
I only knew about it because of a special book mentioned in this post that I received as a gift years ago!
Thank you friend!
LOVE IT! Glad that the kids know what "home" is even with their many travels. There's no place like home, because that's where my family lives.
Love,
Liss
welcome 'home' to the Choates as you settle back into life in the Solomons! i look forward to following the workings of God in and through you all in the coming weeks and months through your blog.
may you be blessed in all of it, and encouraged, even as you re-adjust and miss loved ones back in your 'other home.'
I love to see the reunions with friends - most especially for your children. It's so beautiful!
