Nana and Papa are visiting the Pacific Northwest, so I took them to one of my favorite places – Color Me Mine!
PAINTING WITH NANA & PAPA
PUMPKIN CARVING
We carved the pumpkins I got at the pumpkin patch! I sketched out their faces on paper so Mommy would know how to carve them.
LOUNGE “CHAIR”
This is a Teeter Popper, but I’ve repurposed it as lounge furniture.
BIG HAT
Daddy is making a short movie with his judo sensei. He bought this hat as a prop. I look pretty good in it, huh?
PUMPKIN PATCH FIELD TRIP
My first kindergarten field trip was to Lee Farms (where I had many preschool field trips before).
Our school bus was late in arriving, so we spent some time in the library first. Mommy was a chaperone and was in charge of me and Anna.
The first thing we all did when we got there was splash in puddles!
A man told us about a bunch of varieties of pumpkins.
And another man showed us how they made apple cider in the olden days.
We saw a bunch of animals, including chickens. As usual, this was my least favorite part. But Anna loved them all.
Then I picked out my pumpkin! We’re going to carve it before Halloween.
DANCING TO SAFEWAY
Mommy needed some food for our dinner, so we walked to Safeway. (I danced.)
FLU SHOT BLUES
The waiting is the hardest part…
HOUSE PAINTERS
Our whole townhouse complex is getting painted and I like to watch the painters doing their jobs.
MONKEY BARS
Mommy helped out in my classroom and I got to show her how I hang from the monkey bars at recess.
ICE CREAM CAKE
This is my invention! I call it “Ice Cream Cake.”
Here is the recipe:
- Lay down the graham cracker.
- Put blueberries on top of the graham cracker.
- Put whipped cream over blueberries.
- Stir the jam.
- Put the jam over the whipped cream.
- Sprinkle cinnamon on the jam.
- Put lemon strawberry sauce over the cinnamon.
- Place the chocolate on the lemon strawberry sauce.
- Put the vanilla ice cream over the chocolate.
- Put the graham cracker over the vanilla ice cream.
- Turn it over.
- Eat!
(It’s pictured without the top graham cracker so you can see what’s inside.)
