Not Ever Again

A dear friend gave me some suggestions for fall crafts. I wasn't planning on doing the handprints on the pumpkins, but I walked into Target on November 1 and the plastic pumpkins were half price. I bought two of them and I also bought finger paint. When I got out the finger paint one afternoon, Lydia immediately said, "I don't want to finger paint." Well, it didn't work anyway and I had to contact my friend and ask what kind of paint to use. Yes, I am so bad at craft projects I had to be told to use tempera paint. I used the washable kind.

Wesley was very happy to put the paint on his hands for the hand prints. Lydia didn't want to do it so I bribed her with chocolate chips. She cooperated and seemed happy enough to do it but as I was washing her hands, she said, "I don't want to finger paint ever again!"
