Last week we did some pumpkin painting!! Patrick and I brought home 3 small pumpkins and some pumpkin paint from our trip to Shaw Farms. The boys had so much fun making their pieces of art! I really think you can see a lot of their personalities in their painting. Patrick's pumpkin was completely covered in paint. He even had me hold his pumpkin upside down so that he could get the bottom! He mixed all of the colors to that he pumpkin ended up being a peculiar shade of blue/gray. Marshall used all different colors on his pumpkin and was a little slower and more deliberate. He liked all of the bright colors! Graham kind of got the gist of the whole painting project by watching his brothers. In between eating all the paint off of the brushes he managed to get a little paint on his pumpkin! Not bad for a 14mo. old. Our pumpkins are now prominently displayed on our front steps next to my giant mum pots. It took a lot of convincing to get the boys to put their pumpkins outside, but I told them all of our friends would want to see them when they walked by our house. The boys, however, just wanted to use them to peg each other in the head in some sort of pumpkin dodge ball game! Boys will be boys...

Marshall's is my favorite. Did you know you can put varnish over the paint and they will last a looong time? Get the spray kind.
