Decorating our pumpkins!

Excited prior to decorating.

Touching the innards of the pumpkin. A little unsure.




They enjoyed "stirring" the pumpkin.

Calvin has this new, cheesy, grin. He does it all the time. Emerald laughs when he does it and says, look at that face. I just love how well they get along!

Painting--mostly the pumpkin, a little bit of clothing.

We think we might have a little Picasso on our hands in Emerald. She loved the paint.

The 3 kids all wound up for the decorating!

The kids have been very antsy to decorate our pumpkins. Last night we got out the paints and carving tools and went to work, in the garage, b/c it was a little more than chilly outside! The kids (all 3 of them) had a blast decorating our pumpkins. The little kids focused on painting and using markers to decorate the littlest pumpkins. The big kid was excited to make pictures on the pumpkin, as dictated by the munchkins. I haven't yet gotten the final product pictures, but will post those soon, maybe with 2 kids in costume later this week. They really had fun "scooping the goop" but were a little hesitant on touching the yucky stuff at first. I love October!!

Emerald got a haircut today, the day after these pictures were taken. She starts preschool tomorrow, but more on that later!
