Dissapointing Pumpkin Day

We've been talking about making our pumpkin patch. We've learned how pumpkins grow. Today was going to be the big day. Bedjina even made a card for me that said, "Happy Pumpkin Day!" Inside it said, "I love to eat pumpkins. My mom is happy because she loves to eat pumpkins."

It was only after the hour we spent paper mache-ing pumpkins, that I realized my kids thought we were going to make real pumpkins. Jihane sighed and shook her head as she washed the glue and flour off her hands, "I thought we'd get to eat them."
