The boys and I did a little pumpkin painting project this morning. So fun! They really got into it, and I enjoy this so much better than carving. They'll still carve pumpkins with Ken tonight but these will last and decorate our porch much longer.
I was feeling so pleased and happy to have all the necessary stuff on hand for these. Having a little art bin does come in handy sometimes. It occurred to me that the boys are at a golden age of crafting--old enough to really do things and still young enough to turn out the "early childhood" art look that I love so much. I want to start doing much more art and crafty projects with them. I like things like this that are easy and open ended.
Back later tonight to post them in their costumes! Looking forward to an early dinner, trick or treating, then homemade pumpkin pie for all. The boys will eat their fill of candy then put the rest on the porch tonight for
The Green Pumpkin to collect. Happy Halloween to all who are celebrating!

I love your colorful pumpkins!
I really wish I had known about the Green Pumpkin - what a great idea to get rid of the ridiculous amount (and subsequent battles) of candy! Next year I think the Green Pumpkin might visit our house...
I like this idea! Great pumpkins!
Oh I love these!! Definitely bookmarking this for next Halloween :)
Looks like fun. I do love this age for arts and crafts too and try to squeeze it in when we can, which isn't always easy!
