Pumpkin Patch

We made our annual trip to the Pumpkin Patch on October 24th. As you can see - Sky was excited. We selected 1 large pumpkin and 2 small pumpkins. Carving will be happening Sunday. Sky has a Pumpkin in the "science center" in her classroom. The children have formed hypothesis about what is inside the pumpkin. Sky thinks there is candy inside the pumpkin. Some of her classmates have different ideas of what could be inside. Other guesses include: ice cream, marshmallows and ice cream. I think there will be some surprised (and possibly disappointed) 3 year olds when they carve it. Posted by Picasa

Photo Shoot

We went to Portrait Innovations for a photo op today. If you've never done this it is quite an experience. They take approximately 100 pictures in a variety of poses with the digital camera - then they put them up on a LARGE (4'x3'?) flat screen monitor. You go through in groups of 3 and pick the best 1 of 3 - then they put together a package and a price. From there you have to whittle down to a reasonable price. The best thing is you get a cd with all the images. They are low resolution, but look good enough on the screen. See all the pictures at
Sky LOVES her Brother -- every day when we drop him off at school she says "There goes my big brother. When I five, I go to school like Parky." Recently she noticed that the kindergardeners are pretty small. I am still convincing her that even though they are little, they are in fact 5 and are not actually kids her age getting away with going to Parky's school. It may be a long 2 years until she goes to kindergarden. Posted by Picasa
