procrastinate much?

i am a self-professed procrastinator. but even i usually carve pumpkins before halloween! on the way home from church today it occurred to me that neighborhood trick-or-treating was tonight and we had not even purchased pumpkins large enough to carve. matt had a golf tournament so it was just the kids and me. we talked it through during our ride and they decided that painting our pumpkin patch pumpkins was better than buying one to carve.

it was cold but sunny so after lunch we went out to paint some pumpkins!
maddux hanging his bird feeder he made at the event last night.



since they didn't light up, we lined the front walk with them.
madelyn painted ariel on hers and a jack-o-lantern face on manning's (he was sleeping). mason made a black ninja and maddux just came up with is own design.


some very happy kiddos!
trick-or-treaters, we are ready for you! love.

We almost did the same thing (paint due to last minute timing - stomach bug that week) but carving won out. Just one pumpkin that my mom bought for us on like oct 1st
