Field Trip #2!!!!!!!

One of the many reasons I LOVE doing pre-school at home!! It's only November and we have already been on 2 field trips!!!!!!  We took a tour of Broom's Bloom Dairy Farm to kick off our "All About Books" unit during which we are studying non-fiction books.  We used the farm as a common background experience to begin authoring our own non-fiction books.  We had a super duper good time and Daddy got to go too!!!

Trunk or Treat

For someone who doesn't really care for Halloween, we managed to celebrate it 4 times(It actually would have been 5 times but we skipped an event!)  I'm going to have to do something differently next year, I just don't know what.  It seems there should be this many celebrations for Christmas or Easter  not for Halloween, oh well.  I mean heck, one of the parties was at MY house!  Go figure.  Well anyway here are some more terribly cute pictures of kids in costumes eating too much candy.

Our church hosts a "Trunk or Treat" event where a bunch of people dress up their cars and the kids can get treats in a safe "unscary" environment.  The rule is no scary, bloody or otherwise inappropriate costumes.  We had lots of fun with Pooh and Buzz!

Baby Luca and Aunt  Kate

Hey Kanga boy look at those goats!!!

Pooh and her tummy full of "hunny!"

there was ALOT of loli sharing going on!






 We actually went trick or treating on Halloween too.  Timmy, Jamie and I went to my parents house and did their little circle.  Jamie got really scared of one of the houses that had fog and scary music coming from the yard.  It really made me want to quit and go home.  I'm not sure why people have to go there.  Why not just give out candy and call it a day?  Timmy, Pop Pop and I took Jamie around the neighborhood and after he got over being scared we all had a really good time.  But like I said before, we're not doing all of this next year.  I'm just not a fan.

Grandparents Day Harvest Party

Today we had a party at preschool!  (Not that everyday isn't a party with 8 children from 2 years old to 4 years old and all their younger siblings!!!)  We celebrated God's creation of the harvest and invited all the grandparents to join us!  It went really well and once again I was shown how blessed we are to have this group.  God is good all the time, all the time He is good!
