"I would rather sit on a pumpkin and have it all to myself, than be crowded on a velvet cushion."
-Henry David Thoreau
Isla and James have a lot of fun at home with Mommy. Whether it’s coloring on any piece of paper that’s laying around, or simply enjoying a pear, there are a lot of smiles around the house during the day.
It’s always nice when the kids come up with their own games, especially when it doesn’t involve destroying anything around the house. This week Ashlyn came up with game called Cup Surprise. Basically she put cups out with various prizes underneath them. James and Isla had to close their eyes and then see what the prize was. We’re still missing small items in the backyard, but we’re fairly confident we’ll find them someday.
The annual pumpkin selection process was this weekend and the kids had a great time digging around in the pumpkin patch to find the perfect pumpkin. In between the search they enjoyed kettle corn and a corn maze, which was solved by an excited James as he discovered the exit.
Next week, Halloween!
