Our pumpkins

Thanks to our neighbor, we had 3 pumpkins sitting on our porch. I was really dreading carving the pumpkins this year. I wasn't looking forward to cleaning up all of those stupid little seeds. I wasn't looking forward to washing orange goop off my hands for days. I wasn't looking forward to having droopy, disgusting looking, moldy pumpkins on my front porch. I was putting this off for as long as I possibly could. Cody kept asking when we were going to carve them, and I kept saying, "Not today, maybe another day." Well, since Halloween is on Friday, I couldn't put it off any longer. I got ready to carve the stupid things, when all of a sudden, I remember pictures of people painting the pumpkins. Lightbulb moment! I can do that! I even have paints already. :) So, I got the boys decked out in their painting clothes, and put the pumpkins on the driveway, and let them go to town with washable paint. :P

Even Natalie had fun, and helped with her pumpkin.
