"Mama, when you go to the store, could you get some pie tins?" my daughter asked.
"Why? Are you planning on doing some baking?" I replied.
"No. I'm going to make mud pies."
Okay.
I went to the store and got pie tins. Afterwards, my daughter, son, and some of their friends went into the back woods to bake up their mud pie concoctions. I was pleased that they chose not to bring these things into the house.
"What did you do with your mud pies?" I asked when my kids came back inside.
"Oh, we fed them to the pumpkins," said my daughter. "We're hoping the food will help them grow." (Our neighbors behind us threw their pumpkins from Halloween into our woods. Instead of cleaning them up, my kids are trying to grow a pumpkin patch.)
So maybe the mud pies are going to turn into pumpkin pies. One can only hope!
You may not get pumpkin pies, but I bet you get some pumpkins. It will be fun to find out if you have a pumpkin patch in the woods later this year. Keep us posted.
ReplyDeleteYou never know!
ReplyDeleteI'll keep you updated.
ReplyDeleteHehehe! Hey, they might. I threw our pumpkins out in the trees out back too. Every now and again my toddler will see them and ask if it's Halloween!
ReplyDeleteYou'll have to let me know if you sprout a pumpkin patch!
