The Power of Improvising
It rained today.
It rained hard and long. And thundered, lots and lots of thunder. Oh how the kids LOVED the thunder. Just check our the claw marks across my arms today if you don't catch the sarcasm there.
We had to improvise and make our own pumpkin patch because nothing sets off a group of three year olds more than to pump them up for a week talking about going to the pumpkin patch and have them show up and suddenly tell them they have to suck it up and play with blocks today instead.
So we turned off the lights and turned on our Target light up pumpkins and hid them all over the room.
Don't even ask me what Miss O is doing here. Every time she found a pumpkin she put it up to her stomach.
Cbird brings another pumpkin to the circle.
My favorite part of the day was when we told Cbird that we wouldn't go to the pumpkin patch today. She proudly exclaimed "Good, all done patch!" while she patted her right eye. Cbird's right eye has been patched for about 6 months and needless to say she really hated that. I never thought about her connecting her eye patch to the pumpkin patch. There is no telling what sort of mental image she has had going on.
