The Painting Painter Babies!

So, last weekend we picked this gigantic "ghost" pumpkin at the patch, and it was just begging for some color...
So we decided to paint it!
We used crayola paints...
Added a bit of Elmer's Glue...
And swirled it all together! 
 (The glue keeps the paints from flaking off the pumpkin!)
I took precautions, moved the whole project to the front porch, and stripped the baby!
And within seconds, Gigi's enthusiastic painting dance had her sporting a splash of color!
She didn't seem to mind, but a few minutes later...
That same enthusiastic dance had brother sporting a similar smear of color!
But the project was a hit...
And the pumpkin is no longer begging for a face lift!
Noah forgave Gigi for painting his face...
And everyone got a bath!

  1. That's funny: you buy a ghost white pumpkin and the kids want to paint it orange! Great project! And a beautiful shot of the painting activities surrounded by the turning leaves in your yard. Love it! (And all of you!)
