for. Teaching kids about gratitude is the most valuable Thanksgiving lesson. Bring that concept to life with a gratitude mobile. Grab some colored paper circles — or cut them out — and have your children write down things that they are thankful for. A silver Sharpie is great for this. Punch holes in the tops of the circles and run string through them. Tie the other end of the string to a coat hanger or embroidery hoop and hang it from the ceiling. Stuff the Turkey Game Want to get the kids outside so you can get to work in the kitchen? Create a Thanksgiving-themed game for them to play outside while you prep the stuffing and put the turkey in the oven. To create a holiday-themed “Stuff the Turkey” game, all you need is a few paper bags. We’ll bet you have some left over from shopping. Use two small bags stuffed with scrap paper to create legs and glue them to a larger bag folded to look like the body of a turkey. Now that you have your turkey, you need some balls to stuff it with. Anything soft and baseball-sized will work, even some balled-up paper. Kids will take turns trying to toss the balls into the turkey, scoring points for every shot made.
Unless you have a child auditioning for “MasterChef Junior,” you’re probably not going to let the little ones cook the turkey this Thanksgiving. Just because the kitchen might be off limits, though, doesn’t mean you can’t find a few creative ways to make the holiday extra special for your kids. Spice up Thanksgiving with these fun, family- friendly activities. Coloring-Book Tablecloths If you have a big family, you are probably familiar with the Thanksgiving tradition of the kids’ table. It may be smaller than the grown-ups’ seating arrangement, but it doesn’t have to be any less special. Turn your kids’ table into a canvas for a colorful, creative dining experience. To do this, use craft or art paper to cover the table. Tape everything down tightly and provide crayons and colored pencils for every place setting. If you want to add some extra holiday spirit, put the drawing supplies in empty cranberry sauce and pumpkin cans. Gratitude Mobiles Of course, Thanksgiving isn’t just about delicious food. It’s also about reflecting on the parts of our lives we are grateful If a person commits an act that results in harm coming to an individual or their property, the wronged party has the right to file a claim and seek compensation. However, this is not an indefinite opportunity. There is a set period of time (or a statute of limitations) in which to file a claim, and in most crimes, the length depends on the crime in question. The statute of limitations is often an important factor in personal injury cases. In California, the statute of limitations to file a personal injury case expires two years after the date of the accident that caused the injury. Basically, if you were injured in a car accident on February 5, 2016, you have until February 5, 2018, to file your claim. That said, there are exceptions to this rule. If you are injured and the statute of limitations on your case expired, don’t despair. There are circumstances in which the two-year time limit may be extended. The most common reason to extend the statute of limitations is the “delayed discovery rule.” People often don’t realize the full extent of their injuries until long after the accident. In fact, in some circumstances, the clock on the statute of limitations won’t start running at the time of the accident. Instead, the statute of limitations is delayed until the injury becomes known and the plaintiff has reason to suspect wrongdoing, even if the identity of who caused the injury remains unknown.
Is the Statute of Limitations Working Against You? INJURED ON A DEADLINE
The delayed discovery rule isn’t the only factor that can influence the length of a statute of limitations. Minor status, military service, and certain extenuating circumstances may also extend or reduce the time you have to file. If you or someone you love has suffered an injury caused by another person’s negligence, don’t wait. Statute of limitations law is complicated and does not always work in favor of an injured party.
