Pumpkin Painting

I have never been a very creative person. I've also never been much of a mess person. For this reason, there are certain "tasks" I like to hand off to Lee. Pumpkin carving is one such task. I think it's a fun thing that the kids should definitely get to do, but it's not my thing. I was very disappointed a few weeks back when I realized I let Lee go back to Ely without carving the pumpkins with the girls. I was really, really, really not in the mood to carve them myself, so I came up with a great Plan B: Paint the pumpkins!! Thankfully, the girls loved painting them. There was still a mess, but I survived it. And aren't their pumpkins cute! :)
