Tonight, We...

...used the puree from our (already baked) pie pumpkins to make Pumpkin Squares with Cider Caramel Sauce for another yummy "Flavors of Fall" treat.

We didn't have any vanilla ice cream to go with, but they were delicious even without.

Note: one of our pie pumpkins prepared enough pureed pumpkin for this recipe (2 cups) with a little leftover (about 1/3 cup) for Sophie to eat with a spoon for dinner. :)
We also read Why Do Leaves Change Color? (a "Let's Read and Find Out Science" book) by Betsy Maestro...
...and then created autumn trees using brown construction paper scraps glued to form tree trunks and branches... and Do-a-dot markers to stamp autumn leaves onto the branches.

This was actually a (super easy) fun project that held Will's interest.

I helped Sophie place her branches and then showed her how to "stamp" the markers.

I love the fall.

Have I mentioned that already? :)
