Pumpkins!

So last weekend we went to the pumpkin patch and the girls each picked out a pumpkin. Sierra got the biggest one, Ruby picked out a medium one, and Mommy chose a baby one for Karis. I'm a bad Mommy and forgot to bring my camera for the pumpkin picking though!

Tonight the girls wanted to carve and paint their pumpkins. Sierra was the only one who wanted to carve her pumpkin, and she was really interested in the pumpkin seeds. So we let her pick all the seeds out and Mommy cooked them up while Daddy finished carving the face. Then we got the paint out and let the girls paint them. Enjoy the pics

Karis was so funny. When I first gave her the cup of paint with the paintbrush sticking out she put it in her mouth to drink it like a straw! LOL! I showed her it was a brush so she grabbed it... and held on to it. I brushed it on the pumpkin and it put blue on her pumpkin. AHA! She grabbed the paintbrush from me and had a ball paining her pumpkin!


Ruby didn't want to carve a face in her pumpkin. She thought Sierra's looked cool, but wasn't interested, she just wanted to paint them.


Sierra liked that we carved her pumpkin and we put a candle in it and turned out the lights and she thought it was 'awesome' that it glowed! Hopefully since its cooler here her pumpkin won't wilt before Halloween. We told her that after Halloween though she has to throw her pumpkin out. So we will see how much of a fit she throws.


Afterwards, the girls were pretty painted up, so we gave them baths. After the bath they got to eat the pumpkin seeds. Sierra said she didn't like them, Ruby tasted them but didn't want anymore, and Karis was grabbing them by the handful and shoving them in her mouth! LOL! So I guess she likes them. :D
