HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!

We had our Halloween Party this past Wednesday and what a fun time it was! The kids came dressed in their adorable costumes. We enjoyed some spooky Halloween treats, played 'Pin The Eye On The Monster', and made a haunted house treat bag! It was especially fun to have our families join us on this fun day! Thank you for all of the party contributions, too.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!!!

Music Time

Carly, Kate, and Michael are singing one of our favorite songs,"The Itsy-Bitsy Spider"...as you can see by their hands turning into spiders crawling up the water spout! We also like to sing Twinkle Twinkle Little Star, London Bridge, Ten in the Bed, Humpty Dumpty, Heads Shoulders Knees and Toes, and Mulberry Bush. We love to march around to Grand Old Duke of York. So you can tell most of these are nursery rhymes and let me tell you, the kids really enjoying putting movement to the music...it's one of their favorite times of the day!

Tolmachoff Farms Field Trip

Today we visited the pumpkin patch at Tolmachoff Farms and what a blast we had. Here is Kate, Kaden, Michael and Carly taking a rest next to a scarecrow right next to the pumpkin patch.

Here we are just about to enter the mini corn maze. Along the way we found lots of corn that was just about ready to be picked. Of course, the kids found some on the ground that they kept as a souvenir. The corn stalks were taller than the kids so it was cute watching them find their way through the maze! (picture: Kenzie, Sarah & Nate (Carly's cousins), Carly, Kaden, Michael, and Kate).

One of the best parts of the day was visiting the petting zoo. We got to feed the goats, pigs, chickens, and even an ostrich. The kids enjoyed feeding the animals right out of their hands!

Kaden said this was his favorite part of the whole day!

Kate, Carly, Kenzie, Kaden, and Michael have turned into vegetables!

All the kiddos enjoyed jumping around in pieces of CORN! As they jumped up and down it made a funny popping noise...like they were 'poppin corn'!

Fall Marble Painting

Today we painted with marbles. You just put a marble in some craft paint, place your paper inside of a cardboard box, put the marble in the box and roll away! The marble rolls all over your paper creating a paint trail of neat designs. The kids painted these 'Fall' signs with orange, yellow, and red paint with the word 'Fall' written on the paper. Which happens to go with our letter of the week, "Ff". Not to mention they thought it was tons of fun!

Fall is Here!

We enjoyed a nice Fall morning outside playing with chalk. The kids love to ask me to draw them a picture. Today they wanted me to draw them "spooky" pictures. So, we drew pictures of pumpkins and witches and wrote 'HAPPY HALLOWEEN'. Lovin' this cooler weather!!!
