carvin' punkins

I tried to talk the boys into PAINTING their pumpkins this year rather than carving- because we all know who does the dirty work when the family carves pumpkins= MOM. But the boys pulled a fast one and somehow convinced us to carve AND paint. It became the biggest carving pumpkin mess to date.


Aaron "helped" Zack carve the Transformer Autobot sign. It looked awesome until Zack messed it up with a bunch of sloppy paint. But we were chill-parents (something I've definitely had to work on) and allowed them to destroy their perfectly beautiful orange Jack-O's. They will be in the garbage in 7 days and the kids were happy with the results...


How cute are they?
Definitely worth a big mess every once in a while...

When it is dark out and they are lit up you can't even see the messy paint:) I totally hear you - Jake poked a bunch of holes in his pumpking while Brandon watched football and I did dishes. In the end Ryan helped him make a face that resembled a jack-o-lantern, but this year I could care less!
