Our neighbor gave each of the kids an egg to 'hatch' in water.  That caused a lot of excitement this week as they watched their animals hatch and then grow bigger in the water.

 

 Austin and Adelaide have been learning about stars this week in science.  We made stars by putting blobs of red and yellow paint on a circle, putting the circle in a Ziplock bag and then squishing the colors around to blend.

Gavin added another layer on his feudalism diorama.  This time he added the nobles layer with a lord and lady eating a feast.

 

 

Adelaide is now working on stickers that are certain shapes that have be put in a certain place in a picture.

 

Austin spent his morning doing puzzles.  He did five puzzles altogether!

This afternoon we went to the pumpkin farm.  We had a great time as always.

The kids enjoyed the hay ride!

 

Adelaide got to find the perfect pumpkin for the first time.  She wanted a "baby" pumpkin so we found the smallest one in the patch for her.  She was very proud of it!

 

Getting through the vines can be difficult.

 

Here is her perfect find!

Adelaide loved the sunflowers!

 

Then it was time to see the animals.  They had goats, sheep, lots of fowl of various kinds and bunnies, which is what the kids are looking at in this picture.
