Today was Pumpkin Day at Luke's school and I got to go and help. They had all kinds of fun stations: the first station they got to frost and decorate cookies, and make pumpkin smoothies (vanilla ice cream, scoop of pumpkin pie filling, cinnamon, and syrup). Next they made pumpkin poems and tried to see how many words they could come up with using the letters SCARECROW. Then they make cute little scarecrows using popsicle sticks. (see picture) Then they got to plant pumpkin seeds. And last I was at the station where they got to measure, and weigh their pumpkin and then see if it would float or sink. To my surprise they all FLOATED! I mean now that I think about it it makes sense, they are pretty hollow and have a lot of air inside, but even the big 18 lb. pumpkins float! Hmmmm, I am so glad that I can go help at these elementary school parties so I can learn something :) It was a fun day and I am so glad that Luke isn't too old to come and give me a big hug when I first get there :)

Love the pic of you and Luke. He is so happy to have you there! Definitely one of those "mommy moments" when you get a hug in front of their friends!
You are such a great mom, Sar. I love the fun activities they do at your kids' school. What a neat place.
Also, I couldn't seem to leave a comment on your trunk or treat post, so just wanted to say here that the kids look adorable. Every one of 'em.
Love you guys.
