Decorating pumpkins is a must at Halloween. Since I don't trust my kids with a carving knife, they got to decorate their pumpkins with a paint brush instead!! (and that was even a bit risky) Dexter was all too thrilled to get to use a paintbrush like his big sister, and was quite the pro. He'd dab his brush in the paint so carefully and then spread it all over his pumpkin.
Savy used a smorgasbord of colors. Every color of the rainbow.
Sambo is disgusted by the inside of a pumpkin. He hates weird textures, and pumpkin guts are one of the weirdest textures out there. I dug his pumpkin out first, and then convinced him to stick his own hand in there. Doesn't he look thrilled?
And of course....messy hands. A freshly painted pumpkin is too much temptation for little fingers.
And since the rain/snow washed away all the paint on their pumpkins when we placed them on our porch, we ended up sticking Mr. Potato Head pieces in them. Super cute!!
I love this one...her tongue sticks out in concentration just like her daddy.
And my sexy hubby. He was Dexter's coach, making sure that paintbrush didn't travel much further than the pumpkin.
I love Halloween!! Pumpkins, cookies, parties, and costumes. Love it, love it, love it!!
