Once the boys have picked out their pumpkins from the pumpkin patch they are always so eager to go home and carve them. The problem is we usually get the pumpkins in early October and if we carved them that early by the time Halloween rolled around they would be nothing but mush.
A couple of years ago we started painting our pumpkins and then the night before Halloween we wash off the paint with a little bit of water and carve our pumpkins. Twice the fun with only one pumpkin.
The last two years we have met friends at Wheeler Farm and made painting the pumpkins a fun group activity. This year we were joined by Sarah, Sean, Gracie, Lori and Nate as well as my friend Michelle from my MOPS group and her two little girls.
We look forward to keeping this tradition going for years to come.
