Pumpkin Painting

Well, the kids painted their pumpkins, Monday night actually. I just got the pictures uploaded. They really had fun. John was intent on covering as much of the pumpkins surface as possible. Ruthanne wanted me to draw her a girly pumpkin face that she then painted, with green and yellow freckles even! Here are the pictures.

I think they could have looked a little more excited about painting pumpkins, don't you?

What cute pumpkins, they did a great job!!

And yes, they don't look too excited to be painting pumpkings, I'm sure it was just the "my mom is making me look at the camera again" expression on their faces. My kids get that look quite frequently...

The lack of enthusiasm in the first picture is soooo cute! That's really funnier than if they'd been all "smiles!"
Looking forward to seeing y'all Monday. It'll be fun!

Heck, Carla, the reason they look that way in the first picture is because you probably had just threatened their lives if they touched the paint before you said they could! That was torture seeing that paint right there and not being able to touch it!
