So we've been involved in a lot of activities this Autumn season. Grammy came and stayed with us for a week. She and Maisy made cookies. Grandpa came for a weekend too--just in time for the trick-or-treating.
Another fun project we worked on was Wilson's pumpkin book report. He had to chose a fiction book, read it, and then summarize it. Then he had to decorate a pumpkin like one of the characters in the story. Just by looking at his pumpkin, can you tell what book he read?
That's right! It was Chocolate Fever. Turned out pretty good, huh? We hot glued chocolate chips on his face for the *chocolate rash*. What really made me chuckle was when he brought his pumpkin home from school. I was surprised to see only one chocolate chip left on his pumpkin. When I asked him what happened to all the chocolate chips he answered, "Oh, they fell off...and I ate some of them too." Yeah, pretty nauseating.
His teacher told me she saw him casually eating them here and there off his pumpkin. "Don't those chocolate chips have glue on them?" she asked.
He just said, "Yeah, but that won't hurt me." Famous last words, right?

That pumpkin is BRILLANT!
That is awesome. I need to meet Wilson. When are you guys going to come and visit St.George? Or maybe we can meet at Lake Powell.
That's so cute! And a little glue never killed any right?!!! :)
OH MY GOSH! I am totally giggling at the thought. Kids are so unphased by glue! On Sunday our Articles of Faith specialist brought in these cute little reminders for the kids that had a piece of popcorn on them. She told the kids not to eat the popcorn because they had hot glue on them but after Sharing Time, I found at least 7 or 8 paper on the ground with the popcorn eaten off. EWW!
I would so rather my child eat dried hot glue than slurping down the white gooey glue, or even still letting the white glue dry on their hands and then eating it. So, now I bet hot glue doesn't seem so bad. And just to be clear - none of my children have eaten the gooey white glue, just tragic memories of my own schools days. No wonder girls think boys are gross in elementary school.
haha! That totally made me laugh! I love that he was just picking them off casually throughout the day. Maybe he needs some more snacks in his lunch. hehe!
We love Wilson around here! I also love the picture of your mom making cookies. I sure love her, too. Your blog looks fantastic.
I love time with Grandma! There is nothing better. The pumpkin looks awesome!!Hey I like the spike hair-good look.
We love that book at our house. In fact, we love chocolate.
Hey! It was so good to hear from you! Your kids are so cute it's so fun to see how grown up they are. I don't think I've seen you since Maisy was a baby!
We are actually moving down your way to Texas. We wish we were moving to nice Texas like where you guys are. But, unfortunately, we are moving to ugly, tumble weeds and pumpjacks Texas. We have gotten used to PA too so it will be hard but good, I'm sure. Hope you are doing great! Maybe we'll be able to see you since we'll live closer!
Oh and it was fun to see your mom too in that picture!
