Well, for Halloween this year we decided to make the grandparents cards with pictures of the Great Rumpkins. Yes, we made "bumprints" of the girls’ bottoms, which bear (or should I say bare?) a striking resemblance to pumpkins. (The rumpkin to the left belongs to Madeline; the one below to the right is Rae's.)
Want to make your own rumpkin? Here’s how:

1. Fill a shallow baking dish or piece of Tupperware with orange, nontoxic poster paint*. I actually used a tinfoil, disposable lasagna tray to minimize cleanup time.
2. Dip your kiddo’s bum in the orange paint. If your rumpkin model is a girl, be careful not to get paint in other, nearby sensitive areas.
3. Transfer orange bum to a piece of black construction paper and gently press the bottom onto the paper, leaving a lovely “bumprint.”
4. Allow to dry for a few hours.
*You can also use nontoxic fabric paint and make rumpkin t-shirts.
Happy Halloween!
