Fall Activities

ROAR!!

Good morning Oven-Mit Monsters! 

We took part of some typical fall activities this weekend - carved our pumpkins and raked the leaves.

Leinna and Lukkas were very excited to make their pumpkins. 

 Lukkas kept calling it a ball.

After consulting on the design of the pumpkin

we were ready to pull out the seeds.  Leinna wasn't too sure about the texture

of the seeds and "slime", but we encouraged her to be brave and try it.  

Brave indeed!  

She did great with pulling out the seeds and "slime" and said she was glad she was brave because it was fun!

Lukkas- no fear at all.  The only problem was telling him he couldn't put it in his mouth! 

Here we are with our carved pumpkins!

Don't you love our silly pumpkin faces!?!

We also helped rake the leaves up - what a new concept for us.  Leaving in a rainforest for the past 6 years, we never had to rake leaves up.  The kids had a great time running through the leaves and helping to clean up the yard.  

Finally after a wonderful fall weekend, what better thing to do that to snuggle in and enjoy a good book.
