As Kaitlyn left a play date with her mermaid friend Mariana, Mariana invited Kaitlyn and her friends from the enchanted forest to a concert that evening on the beach. Mariana explained that she and her mermaid friends would be performing a variety of songs for their audience.
Kaitlyn rushed to the enchanted forest to find Ferber the squirrel, Coyo the chipmunk, Cookie Piepea the bear, and the boisterous butterflies. She invited them to the concert and arranged to meet them on the beach at six o'clock. Unfortunately, when everyone arrived, they realized that they didn't have anything to sit on while watching the concert.
So Princess Kaitlyn and her friends put their heads together. They ran back into the enchanted forest and picked several pumpkins. The cut the pumpkins in half and used the bottom piece as a seat. The boisterous butterflies brought a bunch of cotton brush from the forest and suggested they use the cotton brush on top of the pumpkin for a little extra cushion. It worked! Princess Kaitlyn and her friends had wonderfully comfortable seats to watch Mariana and her mermaid friends perform for them.
Of course, these seats inspired Princess Kaitlyn's next cooking adventure... Pumpkin Whoopie Pies! Princess Kaitlyn was quick to point out that these are more like sandwiches than actual pies though. :-)
Despite not being a Martha Stewart fan...we used a recipe from her web site:

Princess Kaitlyn just loves her whoopie pies! At 9:00 AM the next morning, Kaitlyn asked for a sandwich. I thought she meant these ham, salami and provolone sandwiches we had for dinner earlier in the week. I was wrong, she wanted a whoopie pie. Hilarious! And no, she didn't get one until much later in the day. :-)
