We finished up our pumpkin-themed October events this weekend, with painting the
pumpkins we picked earlier this month.
As with
last year, Patrick and I decided that painting our pumpkins was the best way to decorate them. However, we were a bit more creative - we used tape to create jack-o-lantern faces, then painted over it. Before the paint was dry, we removed the tape to reveal the faces.
Ryder participated in painting his pumpkin, but given his typical disinterest in craft projects, didn't want to paint his brothers' pumpkins.
Harvick and Jarrett helped to paint their pumpkins - using their hands to smear around the paint.
 |
| Harvick instantly reached for the pumpkin with both hands! |
 |
| Jarrett was a bit more cautious. |
While Patrick and I finished up, the boys enjoyed spending time outside . . .
 |
| Ryder loved running around Patrick's work shirt (used as a "painting shirt"). |

| Of course, Ryder helped clean up when we were finished. |
