The kids had two days off of school last week for a teacher inservice.
I love that. I love that we get to sneak two extra days of summer after we've been in school for six weeks or so. And the weather was just that- 85 degrees or something in the afternoons. The kids and I hung out outside and together and it was grand. I took them to a little hay maze on Thursday. We wondered around and ran through it and got lost in it and found our way for about an hour. Beth was having a hard time keeping up and I thought we might actually loose somebody- well somebody little we did loose Kate but she was old enough to find her way. So Beth and I went and hung out in the little pumpkin patch for a while as the older kids continued the fun. Beth and her pumpkin colored hair picking up pumpkins was a great way to spend the morning. She counted them "nineteen, sixteen, nineteen, fourteen" and then put all the baby pumpkins next to daddy or mommy pumpkins so they could take care of the babies. And she had to sit on every pumpkin as well, because pumpkins are for sitting on. Well at our house anyways because ours are as big as chairs and they are on the front porch. These ones were not so big, but Beth thinks that is what they are for anyways.
