Pumpkin Farm

Last Friday I chaperoned Nathan's first field trip with his Kindergarten class.  We went to a local pumpkin farm where the kids picked pumpkins, explored some farm animal exhibits and played on some pretty neat slides made from farm equipment.  It was a great day!

Star Student

This week is Nathan's turn to be the Star Student in his class at school.  The week officially began on Friday afternoon, when he brought home Curious George, the class mascot. 

George got to spend the weekend with us.  Nathan truly enjoyed having George at home.  The first thing he did was read books to him Friday afternoon.

 

Then he took George outside to play and swing with Mark and Charlie.

We had pizza for supper and cookie bars for dessert that night.  On Saturday, we took George for a morning walk.  Then, we went to Discovery Place for a short visit. 

Back at home, the boys and George watched some Curious George episodes on TV. On Sunday, George watched Nathan and Mark go through a "Knight Training Session" with Daddy.

Both boys are going to dress us as knights for Halloween this year, and there have already been several dragon-slaying, Mama-protecting events at our house.

Goodbye, Curious George.   We'll miss you!
