Fall Activities

We are excited to be enjoying Fall with the colorful leaves all around us and nice weather...because it seems winter temps are on the horizon. 

Summer anxiously awaited the arrival of the pumpkin patch on the lawn of her school.  We purchased a few pumpkins large and small.  One morning this week we painted them.  I painted the big one and Summer painted all of the small ones.  I was impressed with the face she made on one of them...but then the painting continued and the mixing of colors continued and now we have 3 pumpkins that look like a brown explosion happened near them.  She related them to a piece of dark chocolate that she tried the night before for the first time.  "See, they look like dark chocolate."

So many cute ideas on Pinterest, right?  Well I found these cute rice krispy treat pumpkins with mini rolos as the stem and green icing as the leaf.  Summer, Mimi and I made them last night and took to her class today for a special surprise.  They were a hit. 

Mimi is visiting from Roll Tide (as Summer would say) and it is so nice having 2 more ready and willing hands around.
