We went to the Pumpkin patch at the farm like we do every year. But, this year, I swear the pumpkins shrunk on us. It was amazing to watch daily, even the stems. So, we decided since they were a bit on the small side we would just decorate them and "maybe" carve one before Halloween if we get around to it. I use the word "maybe" very loosely.
The kids like ANY excuse to grab the paint, especially Kaden. That, glue and glitter are among the favorites around here. So, nobody was disappointed in the no carving just paint and slather project.
I thought Kaden was going to do a simple little face on his. This is the first year he has actually enjoyed getting his costume and decorating a little with crafts and pictures. So, I figured he would play it safe and do what was needed and be done.
I was wrong about that one. He was so into picking his colors and making designs all over it. He decided to do two faces and called them crazy, faced ninja heads!
Within minutes he turned it into a masterpiece of swirls and drips. Who knows he may be a famous pumpkin painter in the future, but I wont hold my breath. :)
Mahala is my precise child. She takes her time and plans out every detail before she even gets out her supplies. Unlike my oldest and I that just grabs paint and starts painting before we eve know what the project is. Being mental helps make that all possible.;)
Mahala called her pumpkin, Mr. Crazy Peanut. Everyone's crazy in our house, even the pumpkins. Poor pumpkins......
