Pumpkin paintin’

BySher
Like everyone else with toddlers that can’t be trusted with a huge carving knife, we painted our pumpkins this year.  I laid out a trash bag in the living room, sectioned off two eyes, a nose and a mouth and let him go.

Really, the washable paints were not ideal, but I’m much more concerned with clean up than I am artistic-ness.

And he could care less, just give him a brush and some paint and he is thrilled.

And who could care even less than that?  This one.  Poor girl got to do no painting.  In due time, little girl.

The final outcome was this masterpiece, which has faded quickly due to rain and wind.

I’m really tempted to carve one this weekend and let him help me scoop out the guts, just for good measure. I’m determined to have a fun filled Hallo-weekend and I have a long to-do list of activities like decorating cookies, making slime and watching scary movies.  Having kids makes everything more fun.  🙂

And for fun, a flashback to Brady’s first pumpkin carving two years ago.  Holy cow how time flies.
