What is that, you ask……..that is a pumpkin. A pumpkin from our garden, not last fall, but today!!! We planted a garden this spring and it has become pumpkins and corn, everything else was taken over by the pumpkins!! We started it as an experiment, Gabe and I don’t know anything about gardening other than plant the seeds and water them. But we decided to give it a try and Trinity was very excited to have a garden.
So what do you do with pumpkins in August????? Well we have put bows on them, used half a thing of baby wipes to “clean” them (obviously this one was not my idea), carry them around, drop them (thank goodness none of them have busted…..yet), line them up from biggest to smallest and smallest to biggest and paint and marker them!
Ready to paint
Before things got MESSY
Markers work well too!
Trinity’s was very creative, lots of hearts and smiley faces. She even made pink paint out of the red and white paint.
Mommy says Uh-Oh because Keenan is a mess (which is a little bit of an understatement, he had paint all the way up his elbows). Keenan says Uh-Oh because the paint brush he is playing with (no longer painting with) fell into the water.
Here are our masterpieces!! The sunflower in the middle is mine, I frequently feel the need to be crafty and messy with them, that’s the fun part of mommyhood!!!!!!
