We went to FireZone! I got to dress up as a firefighter. It was a ton of fun!

Trip to the Apple Orchard
Me and Paul always love to go to pick apples at the Royal Oaks Apple Orchard!
First we ride the wagon.
Then we pick apples.
Then we love to run around and play!
Community Helpers Matching
Who drives the fire truck? Who works in the hospital? I sure understand my community!
Vegetables! Learning and Play
First we read a silly book about a lazy bear and a clever rabbit. The rabbit grew vegetables and tricked the bear out of them because some vegetables only grew under ground and some grew above ground.
We learned which vegetables grew each place.
We practiced counting.
Then we played with vegetable puppets.
Me (and even Paul!) loved pretending that the cucumber and tomato were from Veggie Tales!
So much fun!!
Labor Day Picnic and Parade
It is always so much fun to go to the annual Labor Day Picnic and Parade at the Lake in the Hills fest. It was a warm breezy day and just right for watching a parade!
My Magnet Story
I wrote a story with magnetic poetry, including image magnets and magnet letters. Do YOU understand the story?
First Day of At-Home Preschool
On the first day of school, we always walk to Colonial Cafe for ice cream once we are done with our school work! This year, I am doing preschool at home and Paul is 3rd grade/4th grade. We begged to start school sooner so we could get ice cream sooner!!
Visiting Santa at Santa’s Village
The Santa’s village amusement park is Christmas themed. I asked Santa for a Unicorn. A pretend one would be Okay.
Mary is just 10 months old today! But everything here is too big for her, so she’s just hanging out. What a great sport!
Creating with Hearts
We read a book called My Heart is Like a Zoo. In the book, animals were created using heart shapes! Mom cut out some hearts in various sizes and we made our own heart animals!
Next time we may just try making animals with all kinds of shapes!
Finding the Gingerbread Man
Oh no! In the book Gingerbread Man Lost in the School, the kids have to find where their gingerbread man disappeared too! There is a floor plan of the school and Mom and I like to look at it and figure out where he was and each page of the book.
So, Mom decided to make our own floor plan of our basement and search for him in our home! First we made our own gingerbread man.
Then we outlined our basement on paper. Mom would point to where she hid him, and I had to figure out where that was. Doing so helped me gain a little bit of understanding about maps (or floorplans, at least) and we had fun playing Hide-and-Seek with our Gingerbread Man!
