Sophie and Sadie are off to the museum! Museums are such amazing places – so much to see, so many different kinds, so much to do…what a gift! I wonder what they will find in this museum… Click on the image below, or click here, to open the coloring page, then download, print, and start coloring!

Pumpkin picking


Looks like Max found the pumpkin he wants. He’s pretty strong! Although the biggest pumpkin is about the size of a full sized Polar bear, so in comparison it’s pretty small. Click on the image below, or click here, to open the coloring page, then download, print, and start coloring!

Pumpkin


It’s definitely pumpkin season – pumpkins pumpkins everywhere. Pumpkins come in different colors – orange, of course, and also red, green, white, and yellow.  They can grow pretty big – this one is just the perfect size for Sadie to rest against.

Hockey


Did you know that before ice hockey pucks were invented, frozen cow poop was used as a puck!  Wow, the things we learn.  There are lots of different ways to play hockey – on ice, on roller skates, on the street, under water, with a ball, with a puck… Sophie and Max are playing street hockey – looks like fun!

Building a hut


I actually think that they are building a fort – but they told me it’s a hut, so that’s what we’re calling it. It is pretty amazing how we can make places to stay safe and warm and dry out of just about anything. Max just moved into the neighborhood – they all seem to be cooperating and are certainly doing a good job building the hut!

Apple cider


Sophie is working hard making apple cider. It takes 36 apples squeezed through the apple press to make one gallon of apple cider. Sadie must be tired from picking apples! Click on the image below, or click here, to open the coloring page, then download, print, and start coloring!

Apple picking


It’s apple picking time where we live! Sadie must be picking apples from a dwarf (shorter) apple tree since she’s pretty short. What do you think she’s going to do with them? One other fun fact about apples – the Chinese word for apple is pronounced ‘ping’ which also means peace.

cornfield


Walking through a cornfield is so cool!  The corn this time of year is really tall and it makes a beautiful music as the wind goes through it. It also has a lovely smell. Did you know that there is corn grown on every continent in the world except for Antarctica?!

Honey Bee


Did you know that honey bees are responsible for pollinating about 80% of all of the fruits, vegetables, and seeds in the United States? There is a lot of concern lately because the honey bee population is getting smaller. One of the problems is that there are more and more places that honey bees can’t live because there aren’t enough flowers and yummy things for them to eat. Glad these bees are finding some pollen (that is what is sticking […]

bathtub


I have learned a lot about bathtubs this week! People have been taking baths for thousands of years – except for a period of about 300 years in Europe when no one took a bath or shower or washed up at all it seems.  In Japan it was traditional for the whole family to take a bath together and many cities throughout the world had public bath houses where people stopped in to take baths.
