Pumpkin Carving/ Painting

One of my favorite things about October is carving pumpkins. I LOVE IT!! We decided to buy some finger paints for Porter to paint his white pumpkin with instead of carving it. At first Porter was so careful and used 1 little finger to put a few dabs of paint on the pumpkin. He also had to wipe his hands on his rag every couple of seconds to get the paint off..haha, silly boy.

but soon he got the hang of it and soon his pumpkin (and him) were completely covered in paint. But I think he had a lot of fun. He kept calling his pumpkin, 'The Scary Halloween Pumpkin'.


He also had fun helping Paul and I take the pumpkin seeds and gunk out of our pumpkins.


Here is Paul and his silly pumpkin carving faces.
And here I am busy carving my pumpkin.
So I totally wasn't thinking and I had already packed all of our lighters and our matches for the move. Thank goodness for Paul and his creativeness because he turned on the stove to high, put a piece of paper to the burner and lit our pumpkins in no time. I think they turned out so cute. Here they are. I love Paul's pirate pumpkin. We had such a fun evening.

I loved this post! Porter did so good with his pumpkin. Our time was cut short today because Ryan kept trying to eat the paint. I swear I have two infants. :) Your guys' pumpkins turned out great!! I love the pirate! What a great idea.
