Pumpkin Day!!!

Colton and I had a Pumpkin day one Tuesday afternoon while I was off of work. We had a ton of crafts planned and Colton loved everything!!

We started off my painting pumpkins.

Colton's Masterpiece!

And then we put together our Pumpkin Dog.

After our pumpkin crafts, we made Pumpkin Sugar Cookies. Colton loved cutting the pumpkins out with a cookie cutter but his favorite part was putting the sprinkles on.

While our cookies baked, we read some books about pumpkins.

And when the cookies were done, we enjoyed our snack!

We then played a pumpkin game where Colton had to put the pumpkins on the dots. (Learning his numbers)

He surprising did very well and matched all of them.

All in all, the pumpkin day was a success and we can't wait till next years pumpkin day!

"Bug Day"

Colton and I had "Bug Day" last Saturday at the house. We started the day off with caterpillar pancakes and Milk.

He wasn't quite sure about the caterpillar, but he loved the M&M's off of it.

After breakfast we colored some bug pictures.

After our morning craft time, we headed to the park to meet Sarah and Brynn. The kids had so much fun swinging on the swings. However, after a while my little man started to get sleepy.

We headed back home for lunch and Colton had the following for lunch:

Dirt and Worms (Yogurt with cookie crumbles and gummy worms)

Bug Juice

And A Butterfly (Chicken Nuggets and Cheese)

After lunch we read some Bug Books and then Colton went down for an afternoon nap.

After Colton woke up we colored some more.

We had so much fun on "Bug Day"!!

Theme Days with Colton

I came across a blog today where a mommy and her little boy have monthly theme days. It looked like a great idea and I figured why not try it with Colton. He is finally getting to the age where he would probably like participating in different crafts and I'm sure he wouldn't mind spending an entire day with just mommy. So, I made out a list of monthly theme days for the rest of the year and have already got a few ideas for a few of them. I plan on spending one day every month just focusing on that theme and spending the entire day with Colton!
