pumpkin 2 of 2
I got the paint and decided it would be best to wait till
tonight when the kids asked to do them before I told them how we was doing
them. We had just finished eating when of course my son was the first one to
ask. I told them to let me get the dishes done and we would get started. As
soon as I was done I got the pumpkins and paint out and told them all to sit
down. I think my son was looking at me all crazy when he asked what we need the
paint for. I told the kids that this year we were going to try something new
that this year we were going to paint the pumpkins and see how that looked. At
first I don’t think that they thought it would be as fun as cutting them open.
I started with the youngest (Kinzie) first which in its self is funny because
they are twins. I started by asking what kind of face she wanted then noise and
eyes. I went down the row doing this and in about a half hour I was done. They
were all excited to see them and I think even without them glowing they would have
loved them. Now that the pumpkins were done it was time to make the cookies.
When the cookies got done we all set down and got ready to see what the
pumpkins looked like in the dark. I could not believe how they glowed the kids
went nuts they loved it. It was at that moment, (like I said at the beginning
of this) that I realized that I would never have to carve pumpkins again. I
told you that I realized a couple of things the whole not having to crave
pumpkins is one and the other is that chocolate chip cookies can make anything
better.
