“Wahhhhhhh!” Thalia squawked. “The little licker was so cute — until Paintist messed her up!”

Get Messy!
Make Mistakes!
Have Fun!
And, if you like ice cream, well… you know what to do! 🍦

🎶 No christening dresses, or pretty pinafores, if you plan to go leaf pile diving!
Just put on some grubbies with a smile in your heart, and have the best time of Fall!
