Harvey Pie

Last night we made our first pumpkin pie of the season. I think this is the first pie that Harvey has helped with. Unfortunately we forgot to add the flour to the filling and it was a little soupy. When we (I) poured the mixture into the shell, H exclaimed "ROCKET SOUP"! FYI Rocket Soup is the name of the Little Einstein video he's been watching lately. I actually approve of it because the music is by Dvorak and they actually show the treble staff and music notation on the tv screen. The notes light up as they are played - it is very cool! Later in the day when Joe and I weren't paying attention, H was left up to his own devices; he created a snowstorm using nearly an entire container of baby powder. When I entered his room to discover a fleet of snow-covered trains, trucks and cars, he pointed to the mess and said, "Snow."

Choices to Make

Each child was only allowed ONE pumpkin...

Big Day in the Pumpkin Patch

It was SOOO fun and really cute. We went with Harvey's playgroup to Sugartown Strawberries in Malvern. What a cool place. We took a hayride and picked pumpkins, got lost in a childsize maze made out of corn, and then at the end, all of the children were given coloring books and a corn cob that we can make popcorn with. What a fun age this is! He really gets a kick out of all of this stuff.

Where's Harvey

He got stuck in a dead end for a while and I had to go "bale" him out! Get it? Seriously though, these kids were TOO funny getting lost in the labyrinth of hay. All the moms were on the sidelines issuing maze advice to wayward toddlers and kindergarteners.

Tractor Troubles

Our tractor driver had to cut our hayride short due to a little accident! She cut the turn too close to the fence and OUCH...the whole truck bed separated from the tractor. So we had to walk the rest of the way to the pumpkin patch - such adventure!

Perfect Pumpkin

We walked around the pumpkin patch for about 5 minutes and I figured that I would have to pick a pumpkin for him, but then I saw him rush over and pick this one up. I was so happy to see that he has good taste in pumpkin-picking! In fact, the mother in me was convinced that he had selected THE BEST pumpkin in the lot:)
