October 13-17: Pumpkins

This week we have been learning about pumpkins. We couldn't find a single book about pumpkins at the library, so we haven't read anything about them, but we've still done some fun things. We made pumpkin pudding (which Tempe didn't like) and we played "Ring around the Pumpkin". We also took two "field trips" to see pumpkins: to the Farmers' Market and to a garden store that is having a giant pumpkin contest. Tempe and Helena really liked seeing the giant pumpkins, especially because there was a perfect little spot to sit on one of them. Today is a beautiful day, so we are going to go outside and make a fingerprint pumpkin patch, and tomorrow night we are going to go to a pumpkin festival with Daddy.
