pumpkin patch...
Our trip to the pumkin patch was soooo fun! We went somewhere different this year. Usually we go to Wells Nursury....last year was kind of a bummer, so this year we went to Jubilee. I have been coming here for about 6 years now with my family. However....I did not realize you needed to make a reservation during the week. Luckily we talked to the owner....Farmer Eric...and bless his heart, he had some extra time and gave us our own little private tour. He needed to give the cows some water, so he took us out to the cow pasture on his tractor! SO FUN!! A baby calf had just been born the night before! Then he took us over to the pumpkin patch which was right next to the corn field and he gave us some corn to eat right off the stalk! Yummmm! Then we picked out our pumpkins and he drove us back. It was great. We love you Farmer Eric! Thank you so much!
Pumpkins.....
Make a Jack-o-lantern....There are pumpkin cut outs on the table and the kids can try to make faces out of playdough to add to the pumpkins. Then they have a Jack-o-lantern.Sponge painting Jack-o-lanterns.....Here we dipped our knuckles into the paint....made the print on the paper...then added green for a stem....to make a pumpkin patch!
Apples....
We took a field trip to the store this morning to get apples. Your children are very good walkers!...and were very good at the store. We got 6 different kinds. They each had their own bag to carry home. At snack time we had a taste test to see which ones were the best.
Bye Bye Butterfly tree
Brayden came to visit today! We have missed you Bray Bray....glad to have you...anytime!
We decided to take down the Butterfly tree today. It was getting old and didn't produce very many flowers this year. We will get a new Butterfly tree in the spring and plant it somewhere else...but for now we need to make room for the sandbox since we took 1/2 the sandbox away for the playchips. The kids worked haaaard pulling the large tree branches from one end of the grass to the other. They worked together to move the extra large branches.
