Lunch at the Hottest Spot in Town!

Today Lisa and Rachael came to lunch and a good time was had by all.  There was never a lull in the conversation as the group talked about Halloween costumes, sewing, the creation of place cards, seasons and holidays, pets, hair and stories about Lisa's children.  At one point Leigh remarked,  "We're talking so much that we're forgetting to eat."  Indeed, lunch lasted so long that we didn't;t get to all of our scheduled experiences, but no one seemed to mind.

Halloween Cooking: Pumpkin Bread

 Almost everyone helped with our cooking project today.   Children took turns adding ingredients and monitoring how fast the mixer would go.  We never made it to "10."  Austin suggested, "Maybe that's for harder things."  Indeed, our bread batter was rather liquid-y and would have splattered at a fast seeing, while a "harder" dough may have been just fine at that speed.  Lane noted that the batter turned colors as we added the pumpkin:  "It's turning peach!"  The dairy-free gluten-free treat will be served for snack in the Rainey and Tucker Classrooms, maybe tomorrow!

Seasonal Watercolors

After our lovely lunch, we did have time for fall-themed watercolors.   Lou Lou and Leigh spent most of their time here, often working together on ghosts who say "Boo!"

Have a Wonderful Halloween!
