1st Day of Autumn 2014

We shifted our school around to do a lot of fun activities for the first day of fall. The boys were so excited to get their fall pumpkins that they immediately started drawing on them with a sharpie. We took a nature walk and collected various leaves to make our leaf book. The boys really enjoyed this activity and are still working on them throughout this week. We also found leaves of various colors and did an experiment to extract the pigment from them. Of course, we had to finish the day by making a homemade pumpkin pie (oops! Forgot to take a picture of the finished product).  We had dinner plans at a friend's house that night, so we brought a pumpkin pie to share.
