Treat Day: Harold & the Purple Crayon

We really like Harold and the Purple Crayon book. Really like it. So when we were appointed a treat day on the same day Ms. Carol read Harold, it was like the stars had alighted. We had to do our part. So we (mostly Mama) painted purple apple trees on treat bags, drew purple dragons on cookie sleeves and painted one of everything, even Harold on the boy's dollar bin purple shirt. Success.

A's shirt was much more purple than it appears in this shirt...Anyway, as soon as he walked in his classroom, he told Ms. Carol to close her eyes, unzipped his coat & was so excited to show her his purple shirt... with HAROLD! Alexander even painted the apples on the tree... he's only 3, so he quickly got demoted to paint brush dipper. He was much better at that job! :)

 

2012 Barnesville Pumpkin Festival

Last weekend, before the fever, we took William to his first ever Barnesville, Ohio Pumpkin Festival. There weren't as many huge pumpkins as last time, but the few they had were certainly bigger than even our big boy!

Oglebayfest & Good Zoo

Mama & the boys were supposed to be in Carlisle this weekend for William's first fall car show. Instead, we are home suffering through the babe's first, double ear infection. Nasty, nasty 103.5* fever, can't sleep the night infection. And after 3 days suffering at home, we decided to check out the Oglebay zoo & the Oglebayfest Craft show. They had ghosts...
