Pumpkin Painting

We decided, this year, that we were going to paint our pumpkins this year instead of carving them. Last year we did all the carving and the girls couldn't help, plus, this way we are going to bake the pumpkins after Halloween and freeze it instead of having them rot and throwing them away.


The girls had a BLAST! They painted for about 2 hours, it was great. My mom also had fun. She was the last one to finish and I think hers is the most eleborate. I am glad that everybody had fun and was able to put their own spin on it.

From the left we have: CJ, Geewah, Mommy, Daddy, and Avary.

Avary was so funny with hers. We turned it around to look at it and she saw some orange that didn't get painted and started to get really upset and said that she didn't do a good job. It was really sad, but cute. We convinced her that she did an excellent job and that it was our favorite. Both the girls are great artists, we are so proud.

While my mom was painting hers, Avary asked her what she was painting and my mom told her it was a self portrait. Avary replied and said, "OOOO! Scary!" We all laughed, it was fun.

So now, we have our house completely decorated. We are finally done with the decorations, 2 days before Halloween.

At least we got them all up. Maybe next year we will have them up longer than 2 days.

great looking pumpkins. I love all your decorations. I never got around to putting anything halloweenish up, so don't feel bad only having it up for 2 days. 2 days is better than nothing. I'm impressed with all of your painting skills.
