Scott and I had planned to take the littles to pumpkin patch today but after checking times found out it opened at 5pm... NOT the ideal time for little ones to be pumpkin picking.
SO plan B went into effect...
Scott ran to Walmart and chose a BEAUTIFUL pumpkin ($7) for...
Pumpkin Day!
We grabbed it right away and headed to the school room:).
First it had to be named~ everyone agreed on Bumpy and for some reason they all wanted to take a ride~
We all made observations and recorded them on a language chart.
The next step was weighing each of us and Bumpy... then lining up in order of weight. Love that they noticed it was with age as well.
Everyone guessed how long a string would need to be for circumference of Bumpy but we were all off~
By this time everyone was getting a little hungry so we measured how tall he was with unifix cubes and were off to make 'Jack o' Bunuelos' with tortillas, butter, cinnamon sugar, and orange sugar. They loved 'carving' their own pumpkins~
When tummies were full, we headed out for pumpkin carving~
EK and WP LOVED pulling out the pulp... SJ NO way! She did pull the eyes, nose, and mouth out but grabbed a towel right away. LOL
Love the photo of them holding Bumpy.
Everyone excited to light him up tonight and let him shine.
