Pumpkin Time

Pumpkin Time went well this year. We made our usual pumpkins out of paper bags. They were okay...got to come up with something else next year. The fun thing about these bags is that my little friends enjoy tearing up magazines to stuff the bags. We paint them and then I add a little sparkle to the initials on the leaves.

Every year I also have a parent come in a carve a pumpkin while I read The Pumpkin Patch Parable. Great book. This year I had a dad volunteer, and as luck would have it, his parents were in town so they came and assisted too! It was fun to have someone else do all the messy work and have the children get to experience pumpkin fun in safe way. How would I carve a pumpkin and read at the same time?
