Painting and Carving our Pumpkins

I thought it would be fun for Cooper to paint his pumpkin rather than carve it this year. He would have all the control he wanted instead of begging me or Chad for the knife to cut! My idea worked out great...he absolutely loved painting his pumpkin and wanted to make sure it looked just right (in his eyes). We set up our paint shop in the backyard and Coop and I painted away.
We saved the BIG pumpkin for Chad to carve with Cooper later. So really, we got the best of both worlds!
Just the beginning of a special painted pumpkin

Getting it just right!

Done with the pumpkin - time to paint the paper!

It was getting a little chilly outside - this is his cold face - plus a little body shake to go with!

Carving time!

Uh oh, Daddy!

Digging for the seeds and the goo!

Doing some major organizing with the seeds - this bowl - no this bowl...and so on!


The finished products...

Cooper's, Mommy's and Daddy's!
