tiny finger pumpkin soup

As I was preparing to clean up the kitchen for the night I noticed the step stool next to the stove. I smiled. I grabbed my camera and took this picture. Why? Hopefully as a reminder of what fun my kids are and were. I know someday soon, they will not want to hang in the kitchen with me, help to me cook. One thing we enjoy doing is cooking. I am more adventurous than others in the family and love to try new things. Emma takes after me in that respect. Graham likes to help! Since he could walk, chairs, stools or what ever he can find are pushed up to the counter so he can lick the bowl or stir. I cherish these moments. I have learned to cherish these moments. Next time I will think to take the picture with them on the stool.
I do have to drop a note of how fabulous this soup is! The chocolate covered fingers that were dipped in it made it very tasty!
