We had a very unusual snow day today! I think we got close to 6 inches of VERY heavy snow. My mums are flat!! We finally got around to the pumpkin carving and painting. Grace LOVED painting her pumpkins. It's so strange how Grace has taught me to relax a bit with artwork. When the boys would do something like this, I didn't want them mixing the paint colors and I liked them to have a "plan" of what they were going to do (maybe not at age 2). Within a minute, Grace had all the colors mixed together and was on a mission! And I love her finished pumpkin!!! Part of this more relaxed me is due to Grace's determined personality and the other part is just that I have surrendered to number 3!
This is what she looked like throughout painting. Very serious work!
Aunt Denise, check out the cute pony tail :)
The finished masterpiece! Grace saw the googely eyes and just had to have them. I think it kind of looks like a parrot :)
Please don't mind the mess in our sunroom today. It went from giant fort to work station for Brad to pumpkin carving within hours.
Aidan did every ounce of the carving this year! He didn't plan on his jack-o-lantern having such a big forehead :)
Nate doesn't have the most patience when it comes to this stuff. This year he decided to just do the scraping of the skin :) It was better for all of us that he made this decision:)
