Carving Pumpkins

Well it finally rained in California! Yay!

So we stayed indoors this morning and carved our pumpkins

Mason picked an owl 

Corben picked Olaf  

We first poked holes around our stencil to trace, then we scooped out the pumpkin seeds and made the walls pretty thin. Then we took a knife along our perforated holes and cut!  Pretty easy and they turned out so cute!

The kids helped a lot and were so excited to light a real candle inside their pumpkins!

Corben's Class Spider Tea Party

I helped in Corben's class party today

They read to all the 1st graders a book called Miss Spider's Tea Party, the book has manners in it and is lots of fun.  Then they came into the cafeteria and decorated cupcakes to look like spiders 

Then they found their placemat and practiced eating with manners. 

Corben is also wearing a spider pin on his shirt and got a spider ring!

I am also a Co-Room Mom for Corben's class, our teachers are great and do many class parties like this....so we just show up and help, we don't have to plan and think up creative parties!  yay!

Crazy Hair day at school

He told me how to put the stripes on his hair, they kind of match his shirt.

He loved his hair!!! 

Mason also had an exact plan for how she wanted her hair, lots of sparkles, braids and colors at the end! 

Corben said it was the funnest day at school, of course tons of fun in the shower watching all the colors in the water!
