UNIVERSITY OF IOWA HOSPITAL'S NEW GAME ROOM
Today we finished up our last circle sheets! We also painted our arms and turned them into tree trunks. We used our fingertips to paint the fall leaves on our tree. October 19th daycare will be closed. I will be using a personal day. If you would like to know more about this closing, I will talk to you personally.

Working on our Pumpkins

PUMPKIN PATCH BLOOMSBURY FARM
We will be heading to Bloomsbury on October 21st. Our rain-out day will be October 26th. :) Figured I should give a rain date after the Apple orchard. Ages 3 and up cost $7. We will be having a picnic lunch at Bloomsbury. Please send $3 for a pumpkin. Also I think it would be fun for the kids to get to pack their lunch at home and bring it to Heather's. Something easy... and not to messy. We will be eating in their picnic area. I will bring cups and drinks. Anyone not wanting to pack their lunch, that is fine too. I will pack them one. Just let me know. We will also need at least 1 parent to come with us, so that we can all enjoy the day. We will leave here at 11:00. I don't know how long we will be there but we will be home by 3 for sure. This should be a great trip. There is so much to do at Bloomsbury. Please let me know if you will be able to join us!

Monday was off to a fast start. We had 3 new friends today. 2 were just drop-offs, and Nicholas started his 1st day here for full-time. Today I had several navy boy sweatshirts. I thought we had lost Nicholas's already, but found it. Please label any items that are common for little boys. Since I have all little boys we are bound to run into boys having the same thing. Initials will save everyone headaches. Also... on the same note, in the winter we tend to temporarily lose socks. They are constantly taking them off and putting them in cracks and crevices. I try to teach them to put their socks in their shoes or on the shelf. This can be hard to remember for little ones! I have extra socks that I buy and keep ready to go on nights that socks are missing. Please don't freak out if they are gone. I always find them and will send them back home or put them in their cubby. I will never send them home without any socks. Just seems that over the years of daycare socks always go missing in the winer months. Summer comes, Sandals are on and no more missing socks. :) Also I may put them on the shelf if I'm not sure who's sock and will let parents claim them.
Reminder: We will keep going outside so make sure kids have appropriate gear. It's chilly in the morning!
Breakfast: Cereal bars pears
Lunch:BBQ Rib patty, grapes, carrots
