Another great week

We've had another great week here. The weather has been beautiful all week so we've spent quite a bit of time outside. We have done several things with the letter M this week. The kids are enjoying our letter activities. It gives them something different to do for at least a few minutes during the day. This week we've played with magnets and money, used M&M,s for "math" activities, made M&M crafts, made marshmallow sculptures, made handprints in modeling clay, and glued macaroni on the letter M. The kids favorite thing this week was using M&M,s to do "work". The smaller kids didn't care anything about doing the "work" but they sure did love eating them when we were done!!our M&M craft

The boys got some pumpkins from Papa and Clara Ruth. Boy were they excited. We got 2 pumpkins so they each picked one. Cade picked the taller pumpkin (because he is taller!!) and Chance got the one that was slightly shorter but a little bigger around. They immediately started telling each other that "mine is the best one!" Must everything be a competition???? Cade told Chance that he thought his (Chance's) pumpkin would be better for making a pumpkin pie!! He wants a pumpkin pie so bad but doesn't want it made from his own pumpkin..funny! I've never even made a pumpkin pie and don't think I'm going to use these pumpkins to make one. I want to enjoy them sitting on the porch!
On a side note Cooper is walking EVERYWHERE now. He is getting so big way too fast!
