pumpkin time...

we let max decide if he wanted to paint his pumpkin or carve his pumpkin this year.
he said he wanted it to have a face.
so away we went!
i wasn't sure how he was going to do with touching all the pumpkin guts.
he dug right in!

and other than talking about how it was "ewwwie" and "cold," he didn't seem to mind it at all.

checking it all out.
he told me what shapes he wanted for his pumpkin and he watched me draw them on the paper for a test run. the design was approved so i started cutting.

drew was very focused on his masterpiece...

while i was cutting...i let max paint his small pumpkin.

isn't he just adorable! :)

and messy too!

here are our creations...drew's puppy, max's pirate, and my "scary face" pumpkin.

we cleaned up the kitchen, cleaned up the boy and put him to bed.
and i ended my night with a nice glass of wine!

i love this time of year!
