Annual Pumpkin Painting Night

Last year, we tried to carve some pumpkins with Grace. She really didn't like the slimy pumpkin innards. So, we decided to paint pumpkins so she could participate in the fun. This year, we picked out some nice little, kid-sized pumpkins at Figaro Farms to paint. I got out the washable paint markers, and let the kids go at it! I even painted one while Jesse took pictures of the big event. Grace was very careful and particular about which colors she wanted to use, and Ella painted just about everything except the pumpkin! It was fun, and now I have some really cool "punkins" (as Grace calls them) to sit on the porch.

Our kitchen table was a nice little set-up for our crafting. The Halloween tablecloth provided a nice drop-cloth when Ella decided to start painting the table, too.

Grace was very proud of her creation.

Ella was very colorful when she was through painting.


Our pumpkins were all done and ready to be put out on our porch!
