Pumpkin Painting and Carving

Last week the kids painted the white pumpkin they picked out from the pumpkin patch. I envisioned fun designs and lots of colors. We ended up with a lot of brown. But, the kids had fun and I guess that's what counts.

The final product and its resting place in our home.

After asking to carve their big pumpkin multiple times each day, we finally got around to it last night. Overall, I think they had a lot of fun, guts and everything.

We used spoons and ours hands. And yes, we carve our pumpkins in our underwear/diaper.

Even Gracie helped!

Before carving our pumpkin we got a little sidetracked. Gracie was somewhat unimpressed.

The kids decided to do a silly pumpkin. They originally wanted a scary pumpkin, but thankfully changed their minds.

The kids wanted to take a picture with their pumpkin. These pictures were the result. Grace is a riot in every single one. Top - blank expression, no emotion. Middle - cute and silly. Bottom - spider baby!
