Something to be Thankful For!!

It's that wonderful time of year...TURKEY TIME!!! And so, what better way to celebrate than by dressing up as TURKEYS!! Our kids had sooooo much fun creating these adorable turkey outfits...

complete with feathers worth wiggling!! The beaks only stayed on until it was time for dessert!!

Which was, of course, a couple of BEAUTIFUL pumpkin pies that we had made together that morning. The kids LOVED watching the yucky looking pumpkin guts turn into something creamy and delicious.
YUM!!!

The only bummer was my missing WHIP CREAM!! I bought it at the store...and then managed to leave it there!! Well, hopefully some one got to enjoy my Whip Cream (because it sure wasn't us!)!! But it was a blast regardless!!

Shakin' It Up

For our cooking class this week- we decided to SHAKE things up a little and make butter with the kids. It was so fun for them to see how it goes from cream to butter...and all it takes is a WHOLE lot of shakin'! We took turns and before we knew it- we had butter. So of course we had to have biscuits to go with them!
YUM!!!

November: FARM UNIT

For the month of November, we will be exploring the wonderful world of FARMS!! I am so excited. It is DEFINITELY going to be one fun month!! We have just finished week #1...and the kids are in Hog Heaven (haha). Here is a picture of us making Pig Noses!
Oink. Oink.

Preschool Pumpkin Party Time!!!

Halloween means it's time for our PUMPKIN PARTY!!! This year we did some crafts and some games, like pumpkin bowling and a pumpkin bean bag toss. The games were the kids' absolute favorites. They yelled and cheered for each other as we tried to get the hang of rolling pumpkins and shooting bean bags through VERY small holes!! Then, we topped it all off with pumpkin cookie decorating. There was sometimes a little more frosting than cookie, but it was the kids time to create, and they certainly made the most of it! Our parents all came and had a great time partying Pumpkin Style!
I can't wait until next year!!

Becoming Official Zoo Keepers...

Before we could go to the Zoo...we had to make ourselves into Official Zoo Keepers. The kids loved doing this art project
(and my daughter Hannah still even wears hers around sometimes).

They turned out so cute, and we had so much fun doing them!!

Our Day At The Zoo

After spending the month learning about our African Safari...we took our learning to the zoo!! And we had a BLAST!! Giraffes, tigers, lions, monkeys, elephants...what better way to top off our Safari Unit. Here are some pictures from our fun family field trip to the zoo!!

these guys are my personal favorites...who doesn't love monkeys!!

By the end...we were all a little tired. But it was totally worth it!!
What a FUN day!!
