Franny’s school had their annual Halloween Festival on Friday evening.  One of the fun activities they had was a pumpkin decorating contest.  They provided all sorts of paint and craft supplies for the kids to use.  Franny and Cole shared a pumpkin for the contest.  They both worked with very intense concentration painting, gluing, and sprinkling glitter.  I was surprised at how willing Franny was to share her pumpkin; she was also very sweet in helping Cole find supplies, green paint, and skeleton heads.  I loved their end result—it was not a traditional ‘face’ pumpkin, but it was a great effort.  And, while their creation didn’t win the top prize for the kindergarten group, they definitely deserve a ‘good sportsmanship’ award.  And, in my mind, that is the most important thing of all.
