Pumpkin Painting . 2012

To end our pumpkin-themed weekend activities, we decided to have the boys paint their pumpkins.  With the weather being so cold last weekend, we decided to just do it inside (with washable paint!).  We stripped the boys down to underwear/diapers, and did our best to protect the floor with a large canvas.

Harvick loved it immediately, Ryder was a bit hesitant, and Jarrett was not interested.

Getting started with the paint.
About half way through our painting, Patrick encouraged Ryder to make a handprint on his stomach.  He debated at first, but once he did it, there was no stopping any of the boys from getting super messy!

Getting messy!

Thankfully, we planned out the painting well - on a BATH NIGHT!  The boys literally turned the water a deep blue, almost black, when we washed the paint off of their bodies.

Painting pumpkins was so much fun this year - we had fun last year too, but it was exciting to have Harvick & Jarrett understand, and enjoy it too.  The next day we took a handful of pictures with their pumpkins outside - I'll have to share those too.
