It's officially a tradition. I'd have to do some photo research to be sure, but I think we are on year #4 for the Painting Pumpkins event at our house. It's always accompanied with a trip to a local pumpkin "patch" (a church selling pumpkins sitting on their front lawn. The kids get to run around choosing their favorites without getting muddy or riding on a hayride) and then home again to get down our fall decorations and start painting. It's an all-day event that normally takes place while Daddy is at work, seeing as how he isn't the biggest fan of painting in general. This year was no different. The day was still messy, the pumpkins were still just as colorful as ever, and the fun was overflowing.
We added in a shopping trip for a few new Halloween decorations and the witch made it into the cart.
The kids demanded that they get their pictures taken with the new witch. I can't bribe them with a family-size Hershey bar to do this TOGETHER, but by-golly they can smile with an ugly witch!
Is this where the term "choke-hold" came from, by chance?
The mess that Daddy likes to see in pictures, not in person!
Taking his artwork seriously!
