We painted our pumpkins Sunday. Most of our pumpkins came from our garden this year. We picked up a few at the pumpkin patch last week too.
We paint our pumpkins. I still flat out refuse to carve pumpkins. I mean four small children fighting over knives, it just makes me wonder who the crazy parent was that came up with this tradition.
Paint. Glitter, Puff Paint. I bring out piles of fun craft supplies and give them the option. And I say "who wants to use all mom's paint and glitter and paint a pumpkin.... or I guess you could carve it if you want?" They always all choose painting.
They all did a great job. Sam copied a skeleton picture almost perfectly- then covered the whole pumpkin in red paint for blood and you couldn't see the skeleton anymore. I helped Mari do that sweet minnie mouse. Kate painted two pumpkins because she had one from a feild trip- she just painted scary faces. I painted an eye ball. Jake painted his to look like a baseball. It looked pretty legit- in the pictures anyways. The kids stay entertained for a long time. We have placed our painted pumpkins on the porch. Happy Halloween.
