Stamping with apples
Reading fun apple books
and eating apples
and making apple crisp
Learning about leaves: gluing leaves on a tree
making leaf rubbings
and reading leaf books
We also made these cute spider hats that we saw from a friend's blog. Clark didn't want to put it on his head but being the mother I am, I forced him to so I could snap a picture. :)
I'm excited for next week: pumpkin week, which will hopefully include pumpkin picking, hand print pumpkins, construction paper jack-o-lanterns, pumpkin painting, and pumpkin seed eating. Hooray! I just love the fall!
you are such a wonderful mom. I want to be like you!
ReplyDeleteOh I just can't wait until next fall when I can do these things with Simon!
ReplyDeleteYou are amazing. Next year when Bennett is old enough to do fun stuff like this, I need you to teach me everything you know about me teaching Bennett everything I know...
ReplyDeleteahhh, I'm reminiscing! We used to do fun things like this... now only occasionally....

ReplyDeleteI agree with everyone else. I want to be like you, Jodie! You're such a good mom.
ReplyDeleteFun projects. Looks like Mr. Clark is loving it. We may have to steel and idea or two for Anna.
ReplyDeleteWhat cute ideas! I am excited for J to get to the stage to enjoy those things. Right now, we do discovery time with different fun things to touch or look at. But all too soon, he too will be doing good-old leaf rubbings... They grow up too fast!
ReplyDeleteThis year, I have decided that fall is my favorite season...it just makes me happy! You are a fun mom! Now I want to make apple crisp! We will see if that happens.
ReplyDeleteI love all the ideas~!
ReplyDeleteHave you seen the leaf wreath from Martha Stewart? I think her stuff is kinda hard sometimes but, it can be adapted to some thick paper. You basically just put different colored leaves in different rows. It was kind of like this : http://www.craftelf.com/Craft_elf_Fall_%20Wreath.htm
You are so awesome. Neils got a big kick out of his apple-stamped birthday card! So fun to see the rest of your week! I hope you find a fun pumpkin patch or something to visit for pumpkin week... I can't wait to see what you do!
