Painting Pumpkins

Since the kids couldn’t be as involved with the pumpkin carving last night as they had hoped (due to the fact that the pumpkin was as hard as a rock and I didn’t think it wise to allow the kids to hack away for too long), I let them paint their little pumpkins this afternoon.  It was a glorious mess!  Danny announced that his pumpkin had a “dirty bum.”

The kids soon moved on to picture painting.

Here is Jimmy’s “skyscraper”:

And the white hands Susie got from spontaneous finger painting:

Which of course inspired a little copycat finger painter:
