pumpkins!

Since my daughter no longer fits in a pumpkin like she did a couple years ago, this year we visited the pumpkin patch and picked out our own pumpkins instead of put her in one.

I love that my little girl picked out her "perfect" pumpkin...the one that has lumps all over it and no one else wanted. It does not have to be perfect, to be beautiful.

Tonight, we decorated pumpkins as a family that we will bring to a nursing home in our community. What a fun way to spend the evening, each of us working on our own pumpkin, yet working together.

oops...we got a little messy

A little helper was giving me advice on my decorating

 It is a good thing we are not dropping the pumpkins off for a few days as my little girl put so much paint on hers, it will take days to dry- literally.
