We have been reading " Pumpkin Moonshine" by Tasha Tudor, a sweet story about a pumpkin that rolls down a hill at a farm, causing barnyard chaos before it is turned into a Pumpkin Moonshine (or Jack o Lantern). The kids have been looking so forward to carving their own, and I have been looking forward to it for them, but I am just so deficient in my art project abilities!
Enter Mammy, our resident artist! They had SO much fun with her, scooping out all of the goop, drawing their faces on the pumpkins and then telling Mammy what they wanted the end product to look like:) Amelia's was the "scary happy face" , Sam's was the cat, and Mammy's was the peace sign. Beautiful! They worked so hard and long and could hardly wait until the sun went down so they could see them glow.
Thanks mom for doing special projects with the kids. Thanks to Shari for the wonderful dinner tonight, to Jim for all of your help and time that you give the kids. We have a little village going here, and I am feeling so thankful for it:)
