Pumpkin Patch 2009

Yesterday I took the preschoolers and Jesse to the pumpkin patch. A couple of kids couldn't make it, so there was only a few of us but it was still a lot of fun. We started out with the kids going through the hay bale maze. After the initial traffic jam from the kids on all the groups, they all raced through and had a lot of fun. Then we went and picked pumpkins. I think Jesse and Faith both felt they could only get a pumpkin from the very back of the patch because they both just kept walking without getting a pumpkin. Faith was very choosy about hers as well. Every one I suggested just wasn't quite right. Finally we had to just pick one or go with out so we could head back to where everyone else was.
We ended the adventure with a hay ride around the pumpkin patch. Jesse enjoyed taking pictures on the different colored pumpkins on the way. We had a great time finished the morning with a little shopping before heading home for school.

Pumpkin Patch Field Trip

On Friday Little Learners Preschool took a field trip to Linder Farms pumpkin patch. It was a lot of fun taking a hay ride, picking a pumpkin, coloring, and running through the straw maze.

Faith loved riding "the tractor" and looking at the animals along the way. She liked looking at the different pumpkins in the fields.

Then we went and picking out pumpkins. Faith picked out several "baby"pumpkins before she found her perfect pumpkin that she wanted to take home. When it came time to color some pictures, Faith wanted nothing to do with it. So we waited for everyone else to finish up and then we went to the straw maze. Faith loved running through the maze and figuring out how to make it through.

Overall it was a great day full of fun adventures and fall traditions!

Little Learners Preschool

I have decided to start a preschool in the fall. I want to help Robert out with money since he has given up so much so I can stay home from work. This is a great way to keep teaching like I love as well. My fear is that I won't have enough students. I just pray that we will have success in this new endeavor for our family!

I have set up a blog for the preschool to act as a website until I can purchase a website. The site is www.little-learnerspreschool.blogspot.com
