"Punkins"

Project 365: Day 297- Last Sunday, my parents invited the grandkids over to paint pumpkins. They had a great time!

Tate and "Nanna" picked small pumpkins. 

 Drew and Lily chose big ones. When they were finished painting, they decided they wanted to carve some too. Last year, Tate loved cleaning out the inside of the pumpkin. This year was a different story. It was "ew!" Lily and Drew cleaned theirs out, but Julianna had the same attitude as Tate.

My sister had a book of designs to choose from and Tate wanted the ghosts. Since the kids are still too young to cut them out, it was up to my dad, my brother-in-law and me.

Tate's "punkins":

Carving the pumpkins kept Drew's attention the longest of any of the kids. He sat on his dad's lap for a while and watched. He really wanted to do it himself, but his pirate design was a little difficult.

 Order of the pumpkins: Tate, Aunt Taylor, Lily, Drew and Julianna 

 Tate and Julianna wanted to dress up in costumes like Lily.

This was after painting, carving, burying Lily and Drew in the sand pile, playing basketball, baths and orange pancakes for dinner. In case you can't tell, they were pretty tired!
