Pumpkins!

Meg and Katie had lots of fun carving their pumpkins this year. Their favorite part was using the knives to pierce their pumpkins repeatedly.

Fingerpainting Fun

Katie and Meg enjoyed a twist on fingerpainting this week. They were quite proud of their painting and their messy hands! Note: if you want to try this at home, I mixed the fingerpaints with some soap (Trader Joe's Castile soap - FABULOUS!) to make it easier to clean up.

Nature Bracelets

This morning Meg, Katie, and I had fun making nature bracelets in the backyard. To make a 'nature bracelet' you make a tape loop around your wrist, with the sticky side out. We used masking tape. The girls had so much fun walking around the yard and finding small leaves, flowers, pine needles, and small rocks to stick to their bracelets. Between the two of them, they must have made a dozen bracelets before it was time for lunch.
