We planted a pumpkin patch so that our children could go and pick their very own pumpkin. The Little Man could care less, and Pickles has taken ownership of all the pumpkins we picked. The first Goosebumps pumpkin was hers. The biggest Goosebumps pumpkin was also hers. The littlest Goosebumps pumpkin is hers too. Then we moved onto the Jack-O-Lantern variety. She claimed the largest one for her "painted" pumpkin.
In case you didn't get the memo, this year we have an Alice in Wonderland theme for Halloween. Just thought I would share that. I am so surprised at her creativity illustrating the theme on her pumpkin. She came up with this all by herself!
The Mad Hatter...
Alice and the cat...
The top is to resemble the tree canopy...
I was all I could do as a Mommy to let her make a huge mess painting her pumpkin. But we learned something I will share. The best artists palate for a young painter is an empty egg carton. That way they can keep their main colors separated and then have the other wells to mix colors.
My creative child keeps getting more creative, and I am so thankful she loves to create masterpieces! In the end, we ended up with a beautiful Pickled pumpkin!!!
Until next time, keep adventuring and looking for joy in the small details of life!
