When I Grow Up

When I was little my Mom would always sing the song "When I Grow Up I Want To Be A Mother" to me, I loved that song (I may have loved to walk around the house singing it at the top of my lungs) and really it was something that I took to heart (for it was and still is what I want to be). Going to things like this dance recital are just a renewal of that desire to be a Mom...how proud the parents must have been of all these little girls (and a few boys too)! I could just feel the love for the children in the room and the desire of the children to have their parents proud and excited for them.

Thanksgiving, Day 2

Today we talked about pies (yum yum). It made me a little sad that I will not be having a traditional thanksgiving (seriously considering going to McDonalds and buying a couple of their apple pies and then coming home and having them with vanilla ice cream..sound like a good idea?). We talked about different types of pies you can have and then watched a movie of a lady making Pumpkin Pie. Last we used play dough and pretended that it was crust, we made lots of different color and sized pie crusts.

Ok, so we were going to learn this song today, but we ended not having anytime, but I figured others might have the time.

Pumpkin, Pumpkin Pie Yummy (Sung To Peanut, Peanut Butter and Jelly)

First you take the pumpkin and you pick it,
You pick it, you pick it, pick it, pick it.
Pumpkin, Pumpkin Pie Yummy! Pumpkin, Pumpkin Pie Yummy!

Then you take the pumpkin and you carve it,
You carve it, you carve it, carve it, carve it.
Pumpkin, Pumpkin Pie Yummy! Pumpkin, Pumpkin Pie Yummy!

Next you take the spices and you mix it,
You mix it, you mix it, mix it, mix it.
Pumpkin, Pumpkin Pie Yummy! Pumpkin, Pumpkin Pie Yummy!

You put it in the oven and you wait,
You wait, you wait, you wait, you wait.
Pumpkin, Pumpkin Pie Yummy! Pumpkin, Pumpkin Pie Yummy!

You take it out the oven and you bite it,
You bite it, you bite it, bite it, bite it
And you chew it, you chew it, chew it, chew it, chew it. (Sing like your mouth is full)
Pumpkin, Pumpkin Pie Yummy! Pumpkin, Pumpkin Pie Yummy!
