My little artists
Anna loves to pose her and Emily!!
This is our pumpkins before, the make-over
Yesterday, we went and picked out our pumpkins, one for us and one for each of the girls. This year we decided to paint the pumpkins instead of carving them. This way the girls can be more involved in decorating them. Anna and Emily enjoyed this tremendously!! Both of their pumpkins were going to be real cute, or at least I thought so... but they didn't want to stop and wait for the paint to dry. They kept adding and painting until all the colors ran together, and just about every color you add to black, comes out BLACK! Anna said she still had fun even if her pumpkin does look like a mud ball!! (I couldn't help but laugh at her.) She says some of the cutest things!!
FUN! That's a good idea...to let them paint them. Anna Beth had to have the "princess" carving kit. Imagine that!!! LOL! So I guess we'll have a princess carved into our pumpkin this year. I know Scott will love that! Ha! He might as well get used to it with 3 females!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun idea! We hope to get our pumpkins this weekend. I might have to let JP paint one as well. He'd have a ball!!!
ReplyDeleteHow much fun is that?! I have never thought of painting the pumpkin instead of carving it. I hope to get our pumpkins this weekend and I think we will try this!
ReplyDeletePrecious!!! Your girls are just so stinkin' cute...they seem like the enjoy each other soooo much!
ReplyDeleteGinger,
ReplyDeleteWhat kind of paint did you use on the pumpkins?
The apple barrel brand acryllic paint from wal-mart.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea! We had actually thought of doing something similar to that and then maybe carving closer to Halloween. We always carve too early and our pumpkins are VERY slouchy by the time Halloween actually gets here!
ReplyDeleteOh yea. I meant to say that I LOVE the fall background on your blog. Too Cute!
ReplyDeleteGinger,
ReplyDeleteI hope this will help you create your signature. This is not the website I used, but the one I used isn't working right now anyway. So this is another---
