Painting pumpkins was much more appealing to the girls than carving them. Much less of a mess too by the way. Olivia said she needed to paint her face on because there was no way we could carve what she wanted to do. She wanted to have blood coming out of the eyes and mouth. Nice, huh? Every once in a while my girlie girl pulls one over on me. Sammie went the cute route which included dots. I had to remind her that less is more before the pumpkin became one large dot. And I painted Abby's pumpkin and I let her hold a brush. I'm not brave enough to let my one year old actually have non-washable paint on her paintbrush. Perfect Family Home Evening and it ended with a scary story (but not too scary)told by candlelight. It involved a haunted house, three sisters, a kidnapping, and a dracula who became convinced that milkshakes were much better than blood. I love the creative minds of my little children.
