Pumpkin Carving and Apple Picking Day!

Big Draw #26 goes to my grandchildren. They drew. I take a break... GD drew this and told me: "This is your house Grandma. This is your door and your window, This is your bedroom, your bed...the (two things on either end of the bed are:) "things to keep you safe..." next is a pumpkin and Halloween decorations and three more windows. (We do live in a two story house). ;-) This next one is the work of my GS with no explanations...

And this was a collaborative effort of the three of us. GS cut out the pieces, GD glued them on the larger piece of paper and I doodled on top of the pieces. Wa-la! A collage is born!

And then we carved pumpkins and picked apples with three other young families from their neighborhood; all toll we were seven children and seven adults.

We spent the day at my daughter's home yesterday having the second year in a row of pumpkin carving and apple picking in their backyard. The kids had their faces painted, we got tattoos too, a good lunch, delicious apples to eat, and fun in the sun had by all. After the neighbors and their children went home I stayed and played with my grandchildren. We played a memory game for which my GD made up rules and according to her we were "to discuss the pictures on the cards" and we did. They also placed them around the room for me to find and return to them. We played Polly Pocket dolls and all her dolls had "to go to the hospital, because bees came by and got into the dolls mouths and stomachs and they had to miss school for a full year!" Later we sat and drew pictures together. It was a very fun day. And yes, they loved all the goodies I made for them!!! The little bears in their bags were a big hit.
