Pumpkins

Pumpkins are cool
Pumpkins are fun
They get big and fat from the rays of the sun

We had a fantabulous day yesterday! After being lazy ass slacker's with school for 2 weeks we are getting back into it. I didn't feel so bad though. We did very informal math things with Corb. He can now count to 120 by himself and count by 2's to 10. Yesterday we started learning Clint's cell phone number. We read "Why Leaves Change Color"-very cool by the way. Corb worked on the sound that letter "A" makes. Then, of course, he did is beloved math. He did some addition(half with pictures, half without), some patterns and circle the one that is different.

When Clint got home from work we took a walk at the Ned Smith Center for Nature and Art. It was perfect. It smelled like fall, it felt like fall and it certainly looked like fall. The kids had a blast. My only regret was that I forgot my camera. We really had a great time pointing out different kinds of trees and leaves to the kids. Corb was on a hunt for deer tracks. He didn't find any but he sure had fun looking.

On our way home from the walk we decided to carve our pumpkins while dinner cooked. We set the kids up on the floor with some big spoons, bowls and pumpkin carvers. They had so much fun. Everyone was covered in pumpkin guts by the time they were done. Even Oz got in on the action. Lennon's pumpkin is just hallowed out, he didn't want a face on it. Hadley told Clint where she wanted every thing-her pumpkin does not sport a nose. Corb was pleased to find that he could carve his own this year with little help from Clint. He was so proud. I have to upload the pictures yet.

All in all, it was a great family day. The kids even ate all of their dinner(probably due to the fact that we ate so late) and had cupcakes for dessert. I feel all warm and fuzzy thinking about our day :)
