Pumpkins

Well, since Gigi asked....

and, since she makes up about 50% of my readership....

We had planned on getting pumpkins at the maize maze the other day. Afterall, they have a huge pumpkin patch (where they actually grow them). But, their pumpkins looked blech and icky. Apparently, there had been some sort of hail storm that had damaged their crop.

So, we drove over to the little pumpkin patch (where they actually don't grow them) near our house to buy our pumpkins. (side note--every time I type the word "pumpkin", I'm subconciously adding a "g" to the end of the word and am having to go back and delete it--"pumpking")

We had to wait until Sunday to decorate them, though, because I'm not mom enough to have mind-expanding, messy arts & crafts materials on hand. Had they have been able to decorate their pumpkins with Crayola "color wonder" markers that only appear on "magic paper" then we would have been set--anything messier, I don't have. So, off to the store for (washable) paint.

Here are our masterpieces:

Jeff and Landry making a Double T

You have to really use your imagination to get and appreciate Korley's.

Here's Jeff's______________. He said it was Frankenstien, but.....


Here are mine--a spider and Elmo.

There you have it. It's obvious that instead of painting, we should stick to what we do best.

Which is.....um....

well......hmmm.....
