one little, two little, three little indians

every year at the girls' elementary school they have a kindergarten indian pow-wow. this year it was gracie's turn. they make a vest and head bands and practice their thanksgiving songs to perform for the parents.

since i am all about being lazy time efficiency, we used savannah's from three years ago. (that she also used in preschool. dang! i should be a poster child for a reusing campaign.) we did add a few more "indian" drawings and her hand print. it was very cute and they were adorable as always.

rock star indian.

and now the fall festival of all fall festivals

how can you go wrong with a kindergarten fall festival? it's a win-win-win situation! gracie's was really fun. thank goodness she decided to be the same thing for halloween so we only had to do one costume for her.

she had to bring in a decorated pumpkin and of course she went with the princess theme. her official name was "penelope the pumpkin princess". and seriously the only thing i did on it was cut the yarn for the hair and pierce the ears. she is quite the creative girlie girl.

the pumpkin patch

here are a few pics from our annual trip to the pumpkin patch. i know. i know. it's past thanksgiving. but hey! better late than never right? plus it's still november and pumpkins are still festive till dec 1st. and enjoy my fancy schmancy effects. (thanks to heidi for the tip about picnik.)savannah picked a white one this year. super cool! there were tons of fantastically shaped and multi-colored pumpkins this year. i couldn't resist snapping a few extra pics.
