Henry’s World

Not only did the kid’s build a candy haunted house and trick-or-treat, Mr. Henry got to attend Lady Diva’s field trip around town in their super duo costumes, and attend Mr. H’s class party; what a party animal!

This past Monday Ms. Fabulous, Henry and I with her class visited a local farm that had a pumpkin patch set up and it was fun!

We all got to take a haystack ride (a first for all of us), through the acres of strawberries, tomatoes and the best part, the farm animals, including feeding hay to the horses and pony’s and even petting the goats. I learned an interesting tidbit of these species of goat called the fainting goat; they were “manipulated” through various means to react to fear by fainting, so farmers would put a few of them together with sheep, and if a wolf attacked this of course scared the goat faintless, letting the sheep get away unscathed. Of course at first glance it does cruel to raise animals for the sole purpose for the survival of another breed, but that is an argument for another day.

The icing on the cake of course to the kids was getting to pick their very own pumpkins, which my silly Henry would not leave outside, hopefully next week I’ll be able to find some superhero theme carving sets.

Happy Father’s Day!

Henry graduated today from his Preschool Storytime Class of 2008.
Each child in the program received a cap, certificate, and coloring book for their participation, and because it was so nice outside, the class enjoyed a picnic outside, where Henry was content to just sit in his lawn chair and eat crackers, not even when a little girl came over to play with him he didn’t even say hi, guess I have the opposite of a player which is fine by me :).

Even though she technically is not a “preschooler” his sister got to join in on the fun

Congrats are also in order to my brother who graduated from the University of Virginia last Sunday, more on this on my other blog here.
