We had a pretty mellow day today. Lots to do, as usual, but I think we have settled into our routine by now & the children seem to do really well with all our activities! Today we did a lot of story reading as we missed out on Monday during our field trip. We had so many fun stories to share with them so I decided we could squeeze in a few books today. We read, "The Grouchy Ladybug" by Eric Carle "Watch out! A Giant!" by Eric Carle and "The Gift of Nothing"- what fun books!
The kids really loved the pumpkin cleaning. What an easy, fun project for them- easy for us, and FUN for them! Lorien exclaimed "I don't want that one, it's dirty" when picking out pumpkins. Then I told her, "well, you can make it clean"- and she did! Lorien was busy scrubbing and brushing, and Darius was scrubbing and brushing along side her. Next week they can wash my dishes!
