Our Graveyard Smash

The first animal we saw.
 

Yay!  No school today! 

We had already decorated for Halloween. 
We have a singing Frankenstein in the bathroom. 
He sings the Monster Mash. 


So Dylan comes to me this morning and asks, "Mommy, what's a graveyard smash?" 


Dylan drawing his name in the stone.

I needed a moment to place into context and replied, "Um, I think it means they were having fun in the cemetery.  Isn't that weird?  Who has a party in a graveyard?!"

Apparently that answer pleased him. 
We continued to get ready to leave the house.  Today was a gorgeous fall day, and I couldn't wait to get outside. 

We went to Mommy's park for a nature walk.  I try to get there at least once a season.  Dyleva is like, at one with the Earth.  I couldn't be more pleased.  We can't even hike, because they are constantly stopping to look at things.  That's awesome!

"D" for Dylan!

Today was no different.  Dylan said to me, "Mommy, Rock and Roll." 
"What does that mean?"
"Mommy, that's what Max says.  It means, 'Let's get going.'"

Okay then. 

We saw nothing but beauty, but also nothing spectacular, or so I thought.....  Dylan borrowed Eva's camera and started taking pictures of everything he thought was beautiful.

Eva, sat down, and pulled out a notebook.  I had no idea she brought it, because she generally carries luggage with her everywhere she goes. 
She began journaling about what was going on!  My six year old!  I was so impressed. 



Our Graveyard Smash!

Later, we met with our good friends for a picnic and play.  We had so much fun, but since we were out that way, we stopped at Mayer Brothers. 

It was soooo busy!!!!  We bought some cider, apples, and other goodies.

When we came out, there was no where to sit.  So we walked next door. 

Guess what was next door?  You guessed it!  A graveyard.

We found a dragonfly; it
was our first animal

We are going to the Apple
store with Zoey and Miss
Nancy

It was busy.  We got 3 carmel
apples and it was good.  I ate
all the carmel.



We found a grasshopper. 
Mommy scooped him up,
Mommy said close your hand
and then open it.

Mama almost got him
out, then wash his shoes.

My Mommy is going to
get 2 Lily pads.

Dylan almost lost
his shoes like me.

We totally crashed the graveyard and had a smash! 
Who would have thought.
