Ryan's class took had a field trip to a pumpkin patch and I got to go along!  They had a field with tiny pumpkins and they got to pick a pumpkin to take home.  Ryan was very proud of his speckled pumpkin!

This slide was a lot of fun, too.  It was fairly high and quick!

The Tues. before Thanksgiving, the boy's school had Grandparent's Day.  Grandparents (or other special family members) could come eat lunch and watch their grandkids put on a program.  Brock's class did a cute program about the Pilgrims and the Indians.

Each student wrote a paragraph about their grandparents.  This is what Brock wrote:

All of the Kindergarten kids were together and sang different Thanksgiving songs.  It was so cute!  They had turkey hats (like Ryan's), Pilgrim hats or head bands with their Indian name on it.  Too cute!!!

Here is just one of the songs the Kindergarteners sang:

Thanksgiving at the Midland Brockman's

Most of the Brockman's were able to come to Midland for Thanksgiving this year.  We had a great time together, as we always do!  We sure missed those that couldn't come (Don, Kelley, Jody, Nickie & Ashley).  We pushed on and had a good time, though!
