The last couple of years, Gavin has painted a pumpkin at Halloween time since he's too young to carve a pumpkin. He always really enjoys it! Today was the kind of day where it looked like it was going to rain all day, so I threw a plastic garbage bag on the floor and let the kids go to town on their pumpkins.
They both did a great job. Gavin very seriously made sure that the WHOLE pumpkin was painted. He wanted me to turn the pumpkin upside down so he could paint the bottom so we had to have a discussion about why we couldn't do that.
Kaitlynn used lots of color on her pumpkin and it turned out really pretty. She painted all the way around her pumpkin too and I was kind of surprised that she was able to really take her time and do such a good job at her age. She seemed to enjoy mixing the colors together to see what colors and designs she could make. Amanda, if you read this tonight, we used washable paints so don't leave it outside in the rain!
