Bonus: Didier Farms

Didier Farms

 

Today we made our annual trip to Didier Farms in search of the "perfect pumpkin". Of course, we found 2 as the girls each found the "perfect" one :)  And we also bought a "ghost pumpkin" named for being white so of course we had to get that too.  Other highlights included a hayride, lots of amusement rides & coming home with our favorite pumpkin & apple donuts.  A successful trip all around :)

2012 Chicago Marathon

This morning we got up early to watch the Chicago Marathon.  How fun that mile 8 1/2 is a half a block from our house!!! :) We sure had fun cheering on all the runners.  Congratulations to all the runners especially our fan favorites...Liz, Jeff, & Dan!!! :) We heart Chicago.

A Day Of Opposites

 

Opposite day in Pre-K today was a fun filled day.  Josie was decked out in her opposites...a stripe dress with polka dot leggings, a white sock & a hello kitty patterned sock & a piggy tail with a piggy braid. As she looked in the mirror this morning she said "Wow...I look fabulous!!!" :)   During the day they did many things that were opposite. They sang songs opposite, counted backwards & read stories standing up. It was a very silly day for them & she came home with lots of fun stories.  What a fun week learning about opposites.

 

Wacky Wednesday

 

This week in preschool Josie's class is learning about opposites. On Monday they painted on the floor under their table instead of painting on top of the table.  On Tuesday they painted with their feet instead of their hands.  And today was Wacky Hair Wednesday!!!  Josie was very excited to go to school with her silly hair :)  So we put her hair in little pony tails all over her head & added a blue pony tail to the mix thanks to big sister Gracie.  Great idea Gracie :)  What a fun way to learn about opposites.  Next up...mis-matched Friday.
