Decorating Pumpkins Oct 28, 2004

Dylan K.	My pumpkin was fat and healthy. It was a butiful pumpkin. His name was bob. He had glasses made out of pipe cleaners and he was very handsome. We didn't carve the pumpkins. We just decorated them . When Bob was finished he looked so good He was all made of candy and pipe cleaners. As soon as I got him in the car, I started eating him. He was very delicious. ...Madelyn	Alicia H.
I created my pumpkin by drawing a face on it and putting different color toothpicks for his hair. The face looked like a vampire. For ears I got Q-Tips and stuck them in the pumpkin. The name of my pumpkin is Pumpkinstein because he looks like a fat Frankenstien. Thank you Jim and Gwen Smith. When I got home my Mom put it outside for Halloween. ...Austin C.	Sean L.	My pumpkin was supposed to be a cool biker boy. It ended up being a girl because I put hair on it. My pumpkin's name is CG which stands for cool girl. Thank you to Jim and Gwen Smith. We had enough pumpkins for both fifth grade classes. I think the best part of being able to decorate pumpkins was having fun and NO Social Studies. ...Katie
Austin B.	Yesterday at S.S. we made pumpkins. It was fun. We dressed them up. Mine wore glasses and had a radish nose. He also had a mustache. My pumpkin had spiky hair. And his eyes were raisins and cucumbers. When I finished my charactor looked like an old man. He was so funny. I want to thank Jim and Gwen Smith for these pumpkins. It was very nice of them This was the best day I ever had. ...Sean	Danielle W.

How I created my pumpkin was really cool. Well, first we had to pick some stuff we wanted. There was yarn, food, and all that stuff. I got a lot of food stuff for mine. Hopefully, my cat doesn't eat the candy. I made the hair with streamer stuff. I made the eyes with cucumbers and cranberries too. For the nose I used a gumdrop and for the ears I used orange gumdrops. Sam, my friend, gave me a fake spider and this yarney stuff that helps the spider stay on. I made four eyes which made it look so funny. For the mouth I had marshmallos colorful ones that I thought would be cool. I thought a lot about how my pumpkin looked.

I liked what my pumpkin looked like when I was done. It's very, very funny. It's name is Jaylee Jr, my best friend.

I want to thank Jim and Gwen Smith for getting us our pumpkins. They gave their time, talent and treasute. It was nice of them to do that. It was very special to a lot of the kids and it was all because we love experiences. Thank you for the pumpkins.

In social studies we decorated pumpkins. First we had to pick the pumpkin we wanted. Then we got to decorate them . You could use a lot of things. Even though you could use candy and things, I only used natural things. I made a nose from putting pieces of carrots on a toothpick from largest to smallest and sticking it in. I made eyes from a slice of radish and a rason on top stuck on with a toothpick. I made a mouth out of cranberries and eyebrows out of rasons. When I went home my mom said she really liked it. I put it on the middle of the dining room table for everyone to see.

To make my pumpkin, I first made the hair. It's made out of garland. I pinned it on with strat pins. Then I made the ears. There made out of gummy orange slices. The eyes and mouth are also gummy orange slices. To make the eye brows I took string and cut it and pinned it above the eyes. To make a cell phone I took a piece of felt and drew on it and pinned it close to the ear to make it look like she was talking. I also put on earings. They are made out of marshmallo ghosts. To put them on the ears I had to take a tooth pick and put it in the ear and then pit it in the ghost. That's how I created my pumpkin.

Thank you Jim and Gwen for the pumpkins. We had a fantastic time decorating them . We loved all the different sizes and shaped

Jaylee B.	First I had a blank real pumpkin. Then I put on the cat's head. Next his tail was put on. After that I put his paws on. Last I used a black perminent marker. That's how I made my pumpkin. He is on th kitchen table on a piece of cardboard. He is looking out the window of the kitchen. That's where he is at. ...Chance	Samantha V.
My pumpkin was big. It was tall and had a long stem. I was thinking about how I would create my pumpkin. I got my things and I made eyeballs out of cucumbers and marshmallows. The eye was long. Then I made the nose out of gummy things. The pumpkin was colorful. I made stitches out of needles. The pumpkin was almost made out of candy. Thank you Jim and Gwen Smith. The pumpkins were the perfect size. They were fun to creat. Thank you for donating them. ...Nolan	Lisa C.	My pumpkin looked like a man with lots of blond hair. For hair I used yarn. I used orange stickers for eyes. For eyebrows I used stickers. My pumpkin was gruesomly freaky. It looked like something out of a horrow movie. It had red stitches with needles going through it. Thanks to Jim and Gwen Smith. Thanks for putting our pictures on the internet. Thanks a lot. ...Cody
Dylan K.	I created my pumpkin like me. It has cucumbers for its eyes and orange slices for his ears. So he could have an earing on his ear. He has candy for his mouth. He looks like my evil twin brother says Mrs. Eldridge. He has a radish for a nose which looks cool. ...Adrian	Cody G

This is how I created my pumpkin. First I added on the eyes that were made of marshmellows and those rolleyes. Then I added a nose that was a little fuzzy ball. After that I put on the hair that was made of these little stings that are gold. Also I added on candy ears.

I think it looked really cool. It had a fuzzy blue nose. Another thing it had was long long hair even though I cut it. It was an awesome creature with a great smile.

I would like to thank Jim and Gwen Smith because they are the people that brought the pumpkins. If they didn't bring those pumpkins we wouldn't have been able to make our pumpkins and I wouldn't have a pumpkin on my table at home. That's why I want to thank the.

The pumpkin I made yesterday had a face of candy and toothpicks. I put one cucumber on each eye. And then a gumdrop for the pupil. That was how the eyes looked. My mouth was made out of a piece of string. The nose was made out of orange candy. It looked very nice.

My pumpkin is now in my dog's stomach so my pumpkin is gone. My dog didn't get much food last night after he ate my pumpkin. My poor pumpkin is gone. Bad dog!

Angelica	My pumpkin looks like Jason. It looks cool. Well, I think it does. Some people don't like it, but my grandma does. ...Austin B. It was fun decorating the pumpkins. It was also cool we got to skip SS. I had fun decorating my pumpkin. ...Emily	Dylan W.
I put my pumpkin on the step and my dog ate the nose. Then I put the pumpkin on the counter. My sisters saw it on the counter and started to laugh at it. ...Kyle	Adrian N.	My pumpkin looked awesome with the ghost on top and the marshmalo teeth. It also had marshmalo nose and eyes. I named him BooDoo Dylan because he had toth picks in him like a voodoo doll. It was fun to make Boodoo Dylan. ...Dylan W.
