We have the Halloween Spirit!
Our staff participated in a costume contest this Halloween! Who wore it best?!
We had a Crow and a Scarecrow, two Pete the Cat's with the White shoes, Three Blind Mice, and the Candy Rappers! The School Age group voted just like we did in the elections for the best dressed costume. Once the votes were tallied, the majority of the votes went to the Candy Rappers! Congrats, Dylan and Shea Lynn! Thanks to all that participated!

Improving our Play yard !!
We all enjoy spending time in our play yard all year round. We love to drive our cars, play in the sand box, making castles and pies. We love to garden, and we love to climb. We are looking to reduce the amount of plastic and add more nature elements for the children to climb on and play with. So far we have added more gardens, many stumps, more sand, some pallets and tires. A family has approached us with a donation of some large boulders but we will need the help of some big machines (a skid steer or bobcat, truck or trailer) and strong people to help move these boulders in to their new homes in our play yard. Please contact Erin if you would be able to help or know of someone who would. Thanks!
We are still looking for a medium sized wooden spool to use for our dirt kitchen table.
