Thanksgiving!

Thanksgiving!

Thanksgiving just went by and I think that I should show you something my family did.

We made pumpkins! First we had to buy some lids. You need twenty-four lids to make one pumpkin. Of course, it has to be orange. We spray painted our lids. My mom would paint them as my sisters and I brought the lids to her. We were so excited, we started to push each other out of the way. Each of us trying to get our lids to Mom before the other can. This didn't end well so we apologized and slowly gave Mom the lids from then on.

After they were all painted, we had to wait for them to dry. Waiting is really hard. Especially when you are a kid. I recommend watching a show or movie while you wait. Preferably a Thanksgiving themed show.

Finally, the paint dried and we hurried the lids inside. We grabbed our 24 lids and started to put them all together. One over the other so that it formed a circle. Then we took some orange yarn and cut it. We took the piece we just cut and put it through one of the holes so it is inside the pumpkin. We put our fingers in there and grabbed one end. We pulled it so it went all the way around the inside of the pumpkin, then we tied the two ends together. After all of that, we needed to add a stem to our pumpkin. We put a few cinnamon sticks in the center of the pumpkin. 

It was so much fun! I hope that you try it out.
