Painting Pumpkins

Kate had her first pumpkin painting experience on the Thursday before Halloween. She had so much fun!

We started the night by going out to dinner and then went to the store to pick out two pumpkins for Mommy and Daddy to carve. They have little kid shopping carts at our grocery store, so Kate felt super cool pushing our big pumpkins around.

She had been so excited about painting and carving ALL DAY! We let Kate paint the pumpkin that she picked out at the pumpkin patch the weekend before.

She got to try her hand at cleaning out all the "gook" from our pumpkins.

It was so fun carving pumpkins with her! Mark would just cut out one piece of his pumpkin and Kate would say, "See!" He turned it around and she would get so excited, putting her little hands over her mouth. It was TOO CUTE!!

I had told her earlier about how you can put a candle in the pumpkin and it will light up. So, as soon as we were done, she said, "Light!" Mark put a candle in them and we let Kate turn off the lights. Her little face was priceless! She thought it was the neatest thing!!



You can just see the creativity in the Roskowske household, can't you?? I think these were the lamest pumpkins we ever carved, but we wanted quick and easy... how things change, right?



Besides, this cute girl didn't even know the difference!

Halloween pictures to come...
