Five on Friday

It's been such a busy, yet blessed week!
Truly a week of celebrating God's abundance through Harvest Season.

1. Highlights from the class field trip to the pumpkin farm: pictures next to the Mickey Mouse scarecrow, conversations to/from the patch since we got to hitch a ride, and tasting pumpkin fudge (it's good, yet i'm a "plain" chocolate fan).

2. We made pumpkin cut-out cookies

and roasted pumpkin seeds from our pumpkin . talk about flour all over the kitchen :)

3. We carved our family pumpkin turned off the lights to enjoy the glow!
4. All the "farmers" in class enjoyed painting pumpkins, stamping with corn & gourds, pumpkin-shaped cookie decorating

and digging the gooey slime out of pumpkins during the classroom harvest party.

Of course, as a mom, i especially enjoyed the class's presentation of songs. My favorite was "OOOH, Taste and see that the Lord is good, the Lord is good......"

5. Today, we'll enjoy a dip in the pool, a nap, hot dog dinner, then off to the country fair! We are SO excited! We've many many fond memories and certain rides and jumpies we look forward to. Pete's favorite is a type of teacup spinning ride that is enclosed. The new one this year is a ferris wheel. There are super tall slides (seem to be 2 stories high), inflatables, ponies, a chili cook off and more.
