Alicia's retelling of the Big Pumpkin Story

Alicia came home from school super excited today to show me her puppet show. She did an amazing job retelling the story of the Big Pumpkin by Erica Silverman. If you have never heard of it, see the links here, as it basically sums up what Alicia did in her play. The video is about 5 minutes, so maybe sit back eat a piece or two of candy and enjoy. Alicia was very proud and really wanted to share her video, so I said I'd post it for family and friends to watch.

Goebberts with friends

In a recent trip to Gobbert's pumpkin farm with friends, Alicia was thrilled to get to finally go through it with her friends, Carl and Hannah. It was a beautiful fall evening, so the kids got to really enjoy the nice fall weather and visit all of the animal tents, mazes, and more fun. Ben did NOT like the pumpki-eating dinosaur there, while Carl and Alicia were picking the prime viewing location for the pumpkin feast. If I recall years ago, Alicia did not like the dinosaur either, so maybe next year Ben will appreciate it more.
The animals were by far the kids favorite activity, other than being nice and posing themselves for a few pictures. :)   More pics from the visit here on our other site- http://thekluesners.blogspot.com/2012/10/pumpkin-farm-visits.html

It was a nice day for a pony ride!

The other day when Alicia didn't have school we went for a quick trip to the pumpkin farm to check the stuff out . We couldn't sneak away without a pony ride tho, those are her favorite!

An evolution of princess drawings

Just on probably the last few months, Alicia's drawings have been evolving nicely. Just this morning before she left for school she drew a new princess. I was looking at a few of her older ones here (all probably done in last 6 months) but you can see she is changing her style. Now the princess has eyelashes and more details in her dress and hair. Very nice Alicia!
