Today was a busy one. The girls wanted to get the Halloween decorations out as soon as they finished breakfast. They had fun deciding where to put them, then asked where the rest of the crates of decorations were-they didn't think we had enough.
There was a Harvest Festival at the High School gardens today so we went over there at 10:00 since there was a break in the rain. As soon as we got over there though, it started sprinkling and the wind came up over the river-it was chilly and we weren't dressed for it. The girls picked out their pumpkins, played slingshot and ring toss games and we were out of there.
Ava's first choice but she ended up getting to a tall pumpkin.
Legos kept them entertained all afternoon. We bought them a couple of little kits to build cars. They got them almost all the way together without help, but both ran into problems and needed Papa's help. They had each put a piece in upside down so things didn't fit right later in the building process.
They also did a water globe craft from a kit. Worst kit ever. Wrong color clay to start with and not enough of it,
then we couldn't get Harper's to fill for some reason, so Papa had her push a toothpick in the hole to clear it, but she accidently let go of it. So Papa told her to pretend she had a log floating in her globe...never did get it filled completely either. And the glitter they put in it stuck to the clay and didn't float around, disappointing them. No wonder the kit was on clearance...
