Pumkin fun!!!

Sunday after naptime we had some pumpkin fun! We carved and painted pumpkins. The girls enjoyed the painting a lot more than they enjoyed the carving. But I think they had fun with both!

Chris and Ireland went on a date to the movies after church on Sunday. So Chloe and I went to go pick out the pumpkins while they were gone. She was so proud of herself and picked one pumpkin for each member of the family. She even remembered which pumpkin went to which person when we got home!

Neither of the girls liked the pumpkin guts. I think you can tell in this picture that Ireland was pretty grossed out by it... If you remember last year, she almost threw up when she tired to clean out her pumpkin. This year was a little better, but she still didn't like it.

Chloe wouldn't even try it. So Chris and I ended up cleaning out all 4 of the pumpkins :)

After the pumpkins were cleaned we let the girls draw the faces on the pumpkins. They decided that they were going to make their pumpkins Mickey Mouse... go figure.

I love the concentration on her face... this is some serious work!

After they drew the faces and Mommy carved them out (Chris didn't help, he was too busy carving his own detailed pumpkin) it was time to paint the little ones.

Ireland and Chloe both loved painting the pumpkins last year and they were so excited to do it again this year! A nice new tradition at the Shellaby house!

The finished product all lit up. They turned out pretty cool!
(Notice the holes on the sides of the girls pumpkins... Mickey's ears of course!)

This is what Chris did while the girls drew and painted.

Ireland's pumpkin... I think it looks kind of a lot like Mickey Mouse. I was pretty impressed with her drawing skills!

Chloe's pumpkin... She did a really good job drawing the face! It turned out so cute!

The whole gang of pumpkins... what a fun night!

How did your pumpkins turn out this year?
