What a fun week we had.  We kicked the week off at our local "Fall Ball", with face painting, popcorn, ice cream, bouncy castle, and of course story time provided by the library :)  reviewing the seasons, learning all about how fall is celebrated all over the world and how it's been celebrated through out the ages.  We did not pick a letter of the week because it was a "festival week".  Unfortunately the festival part ended up nixed.  We had planned to attend out local Harvest Festival, but the constant rain kept us home.

Our Seasonal Fairy Story



And the girls rendition of it

Practicing her form drawing

Finally not only able to complete the puzzle, but enjoying it too

Filled in her first book log of the year - 10 books read :)

Singing Row, Row, Row your Boat very loudly
Saying good bye to our Elephants before they are moved to California
