First (Pumpkin) Face

My 3-year-old drew her first ever (recognizable) face - on her pumpkin Friday night. She then checked it against the face her sister drew on her pumpkin...

and returned to make the eyes bigger on hers as well.

Then she sat down and drew her first ever, umm, human figure. Of course, I think she's a prodigy ;)

Pumpkin Farm

Actually, a dairy farm with a pumpkin patch! We took our Girl Scout Troop on a hay ride to a pumpkin patch on Sunday and enjoyed some very much needed outdoor time. We had a beautiful, brisk day and enjoyed some gorgeous Wisconsin countryside scenery and cows.

The pumpkin patch had all sorts of heirloom variety pumpkins in addition to the traditional orange.

Did I mention the cows?

How can they be so huge and so cute at the same time? (and so photogenic?)

Color in the Dining Room

We are in the midst of a dining room re-do this week, mostly involving paint. Here's a sneak peak of Paprika, Wildflower and Cinnamon (which I think actually looks more like Terra Cotta...)

Favorite Things

We're busy getting ready for school and enjoying the last of the summer (although the weather has been rather September-ish for the last couple of weeks). We pause for a moment to appreciate ribbon headbands and child-made paper dolls.
