What a lovely day at work, bringing in an, at least, 7 foot tall corn stalk, roots and all.

My kiddos loved it! Though, a lot of them thought it was fake. Go figure. But, they learned a lot from reading some fun facts about corn, how it grows, being able to touch, see, and a few did smell the ears of corn…

Just glad they didn’t eat it.

So. I made them observe the corn stalk and then draw their perspective on what it looked like through their eyes.

One example:

Not too bad for a 2nd grader. 🙂

Can’t wait for the rest of my artsy fartsy crafts this week. – popcorn is in the near future.

After a fun day at work.

But, alas, I make my way to the kitchen to find my younger sister….

KID SHOPPING!! Haha.

Not really shopping for kids. It was a joke. My sister, Hannah, decided to push my daughter around in the shopping cart. As my mother said “they went shopping and found a peanut.” Because Kate’s nickname as an infant was Peanut.

Never a dull moment in this house of 12 people and 6 cats. :p

Hopefully tomorrow is as lively as today.

Happy Veterans Day!
