Last year Alex sat in the kitchen floor with our big, messy pumpkin & gutted & carved it with the kiddos happily watching. This year, I didn't think I'd be able to get away with that. Zach would have probably been happy; he's not big into getting dirty. However, Sean & Makayla (Makayla mostly) would have been a different story. So I decided to paint pumpkins instead. It was, of course, a huge success. The kids loved it!! However, much wailing & gnashing of teeth commenced when it was time to put the paint away & get in the tub. I expected Makayla to be the messy one of the group, but it was Sean that managed to get the paint all over his face, arms, in his ears, etc.... All in all, it was a successful night. You couldn't see a face on the pumpkins by the time the painting was completed, but I don't really think anyone cared!
The whole family!
Sean wasn't content only painting his own pumpkin. Apparently, Makayla was in great need of help... I had already cleaned the paint out of his ear at this point.
Sean had the most fun out of the group, I think. I expected just the opposite. Maybe he'll be our little artist?
If you can't tell by the smile, Zach loved getting to paint the pumpkins this year!
Makayla took her painting assignment very seriously...

They're faces are so cute in these pictures. Great idea with the paint Shana! I'm sure my kids would love that. We'll have to try it....
