crazy pun-kins~

today we finally got around to painting our pumpkins. we painted them this year because we just did not feel like carving them, but we also don't really have a good place to put them. So we just painted them and put them on our table. of course i took pictures because there is hardly any time that we do something fun and i don't document it by taking pictures!

so we started off with the boys each painting a small pumpkin that they picked out themselves!

they were really having fun. they love anything that has to do with painting (does it surprise anyone really, i mean their dad is an artist after all=)

cullan was really impressed with the progress he was making. every time he used a new color he would say something like "mommy, i paint green." or "mommy, i paint my pumpkin red!"

kael too was very into the whole painting fun. he was trying the double brush approach! he really likes to live on the edge.

the following show just how weird we are. their are few times when we paint that it does not turn into body art. garran is usually the one who starts it. this time he started by painting on cullans back and then the boys thought it was hilarious. they started painting each other, themselves, i know we are strange folks!

of course their are always well.....

MISHAPS!

good thing the paint is harmless. a quick wipe and a little water, we were good as new!

and finally ....

the finished product!

pretty talented kids, if i do say so myself!
