Surprise of the Week

This past Monday morning, as the kids and I were doing our read alouds, we heard the doorbell ring. To our surprise it was my Mom and my sister Jeannie!
They came over to see the kids and to give X5 his birthday gift, since they were not able to make it for his actual birthday.

Needless to say the kids and I were pleasantly surprise and very happy to have Grandma visit us during the middle of school. We canceled school(we finished everything after they left) and spent some quality time with Grandma and Titi of course!

We all went out for a delicious lunch and after we got back it was time for them to leave. We took pictures with Titi but forgot Grandma, sorry Mom!!!
After we got done with school we went for a Fall scavenger hunt. We had to find pine cones, feathers, acorns, spider web, empty nest, maple and oak leaves and so on...

We found a few of the things on the list, but we're going to a different park tomorrow to find the rest.

Here is what we've found so far:Pine cones!
Feathers!

Wild berries

Maple leaves


Mushroom

Spider web

We had a ton of fun looking for this stuff, the kids were exhausted by the time we came back home. They can't wait to find the rest tomorrow!
