What to Do With the Extra Pumpkin

Hi I am Lily. Today Nov.24 my mom wanted to make pumpkin cookies. I did too. My mom used up all of the eggs to make yoke in the middle for breakfast. The recipe for pumpkin cookies needs eggs. Mommy found one more recipe. I said “I want to try both recipes.” Mommy said “We will wait to get eggs.” So we did not make pumpkin cookies. But we plan to soon. I think we will. We need to use the left over pumpkin from making pumpkin pie. We made good pumpkin pie. Mom said “I am going to make pizza. I am going to put pumpkin sauce on it.” The part about the pumpkin sauce was a joke. She really is going to make pizza. She is going to make pizza for dinner. This all happened in the afternoon.

Lily wrote the paragraph above while I was making the pizza, because I realized that I still needed a post for today! Didn’t she do a great job?

Have a wonderful Saturday night, and I’ll be back tomorrow with a new blog post!

Nighttime Duet

Ed’s voice usually starts first, and then from the other room, my voice joins in. His voice, muted through the cracked doorway, blends with mine, as we read different stories together.

Lily is almost three years older than Emmy. Her taste in books right now is different, so Ed is reading Lemony Snicket to her now as I read Little House on the Prairie to Emmy.

Our voices, together, yet not the same.

He ends first. He comes in to kiss Emmy goodnight.

I finish the chapter, put the bookmark in. Then give in to Emmy’s begging to read just 2 more pages.

Kisses all around, covers tucked in, last sips of water given. I turn out the lights.

Good night, Emmy. Good night, Lily.

Sweet dreams.
