Marie in the Pumpkin

The real reason for cutting up our giant pumpkin wasn't to humiliate Kitty. It was to stick Marie in and try to get some cute pictures. At first, she was not happy.



I didn't think we were going to get any good pictures. In fact, after we put her in the first time, took her out, played for a little while, and then went back into the kitchen where the pumpkin was, she took one look, started backing away, and said, "Noooooo." I think she was afraid we were going to stick her back in there. And that was the plan, but we decided to wait until later. When the girls got home from school, they thought the idea of getting into the pumpkin was the most fun thing ever!! They were practically racing to see who could get into it first! Who knew climbing into a pumpkin would sound so appealing to 4yr olds?? I don't know if it was seeing how cool Grace and Greta thought it was, the candy I was bribing her with, or the chicken dance I was doing to amuse her, but she was much happier in the pumpkin the 2nd time!
