Fall is Here....

Well almost!

The weather has been nice and mild lately which makes playing outside all the more fun!! The children have gotten a lot of outdoor time (until the rainy weather of this week). Last week was All About Me and the children enjoyed bringing pictures from home to share with everyone!! They are very proud of their families!!

The children also made pictures of themselves using facial features from magazines, and we filled out All About Me pages with some very funny answers coming from the children. With their young age, they don't always understand exactly what I am asking, but they tend to always give me a creative answer!

This week we are talking about Fall which is making me very excited for apples and pumpkins!! =)

Don't forget that THIS Saturday is Little Tailgaters from 4pm - 10pm! Please let us know if you are coming, as we will only be open if we have at least 4 children! Thanks!

The weather is starting to turn a bit cooler these days which makes it perfect for being outside!! The children enjoyed splashing in the water table outside last week.

Then to dry off, we had lunch outside!
