The Great Painted Pumpkins

Last night I promised some new pictures soon so I hope you enjoy the images I was able to catch this evening as we painted pumpkins. Usually we would carve them, but McKenna insisted we paint pumpkins this year. I wasn't going to argue since I would be the one scooping all that goo out of the pumpkins anyway. And honestly, who needs that mess on a Thursday night?



We also decided to try Cooper's costume on him to make sure it would fit. It definitely fit...and he definitely is not having anything to do with it. So, Megan, I guess we will be returning the giraffe costume sooner rather than later. Thanks for the offer though! Let's just say we're not really Halloween people and I guess we accidentally passed that on to our kids. McKenna is looking forward to trick or treat night. I'll have to wait to tell you what she's going to dress up as because she says "you're not supposed to tell anyone, they have to guess".

So for now, "Happy Fall" to everyone. We'll have to get back to you on the "Happy" Halloween part!

Nice pumpkin McKenna. The picture of Cooper in his giraffe is priceless. Maybe Cooper will get used to it by next week.

Rats.....no go on the giraffe. But a great photo nonetheless. That'll be a classic someday when Cooper is dressing up his own kids in silly costumes to go Trick or Treating.

But big points to you guys for being brave enough to PAINT! I tip my hat to you...as usual. Maybe you've made me brave enough to attempt it (in our garage).
