Black Roses and Pumpkins

Today we had a nice day with our daycare friends.  Oliver loved playing out in the light rain in the morning.  Later in the afternoon he played in the sandbox and worked in the yard for a little bit.  When the babies were napping in the late afternoon he asked Mommy to come see his work...


These are black rose cactus plants.  Mommy
likes them a lot.



The other day Oliver cut one off for Mommy.
Oops.  Mommy was kind of sad.  She asked
Oliver to please not do that again.

So today he replanted it.  Its above the yellow shovel.


He said now it will keep growing.
(He is so thoughtful, I love that little boy.)

Now, pumpkins.

We have been singing the Five Little Pumpkin
song by Raffi.  Oliver is learning it in school and
we used to sing it all the time when we were
driving.  Raffi is the best! So, Mommy decided 
to do a little project.  

Oliver was supposed to color and decorate his
five little pumpkins.  

We worked on it throughout the day.  By the
end of the day he was a bit tired and frustrated.  
But he still likes chanting the song.

The whole pumpkin theme today reminded Mommy
of our pumpkin patch.  A gopher killed it before
all the pumpkins could grow.  (Mommy remembers
she said she was, "So so excited" For her pumpkins to grow.)


They did okay.  Six Little Pumpkins sitting on the
fence a while back....


Oliver got frustrated and didn't finish his pumpkins.
(Mommy is so so excited to finish and clean up this
crazy mess.)  Happy week before Halloween!
