Brady had a super-duper fun time at his school's Fall Festival today! The activities were supposed to be outside in the pumpkin patch but with the rainy weather everything was moved to the gym. There were so many fun things to do that I don't think the kids minded at all. Favorites were moonwalk bouncing, face painting, cookie decorating, and miniature golf. The kids were also able to play fun games like pumpkin bowling, pumpkin patch bean bag toss, and ring toss with a giant spider's legs. Crafts included decorating a giant Mr. Pumpkin Head, sponging a pumpkin face, painting a pumpkin with watercolors, and decorating a pumpkin with play-do. Oh, and I forgot to mention, putting your hands in slimy pumpkin goo!
Brady's teacher Ms. Del and a couple of other students. I think Brady is the heart-throb of the class. I kept hearing all the girls say, "Brady, come here," "Brady, come play with me,"and "Brady, let me see your pumpkin." Unfortunately, the girls don't know that Brady only has eyes for one person.
And, here she is: Brady's little girlfriend, Maddie. (We like to ask Brady who he plays with at school by listing off the names of all his classmates. Whenever we mention Maddie's name, he always gets a shy grin and looks down and giggles.)
Everyday after school, I ask Brady what his favorite part of the day was. I totally expected Brady to say moonwalk bouncing or playing fun games but, no, Brady said the best part of his day was "making planchinda!" Shocker! Luckily, his teacher had already told me about this at the fall festival or I would have had no idea what he was talking about. Planchinda is his teacher's German grandmother's recipe for a pumpkin tart. My sweet boy even saved it for us to share. Yum!
