Painting Pumpkins

Jeff and I haven't carved pumpkins in our whole married life. I guess I just have never been a fan of the huge mess and then the fact that they just rot. So when I saw this idea on a blog I knew it would be fun. We picked out pumpkins and painted them for family night on Monday. The boys loved it and thought it was so fun. Our plan is to do carving this year, but at least these give us something fun to look at!

Sawyer calls his a pirate too.....


My self portrait pumpkin....haha


It was such a fun thing to do as a family. Definitely a tradition for our family.

Fun. We haven't done pumpkins yet and we are going on 9 years. Maybe this year. Oh, wait we aren't here for Halloween, maybe next.

I think that is what we are going to do with the kids...Joey HAS to carve his own pumpkin, so I will support his carving:) What kind of paint did you use?

P.S. On another note, I LOVE your hair. When I saw you today, you looked fantastic!

Love the painting idea! I'm not a huge fan of being in charge of carving. If Mat's not home we usually don't carve. My poor children! Looks like your kids had a ball! BTW, your hair looks really cute dark!
