Family Pumpkins

Welcome to our house!  We decorated pumpkins this week, can you tell whose is whose??

Here's some photos of the process, and the answer:

Levi not too happy with the painting because I wouldn't let him put it in his mouth

Who says the paint needs to stay on the pumpkin??

Greg was pretty serious about this activity

Greg's finished product.  Do you know what it is?

Greg's inspiration, his Blackberry.  Are you surprised?

Whoo, whoo, whoo do you think did this beautiful owl?  It was me :)

It was interesting how each of our approaches to decorating our pumpkin really highlighted our personality. 

Asher picked his favorite colors, stayed focused for quite some time, painted everywhere with no real plan, of course added a few stickers to the mix, and then moved on to other things.

I did things that I thought would look pretty, or because I liked them.  I did have a bit of a plan in place, but not too much of one, and I just went with the process.  Since I couldn't decide on just one idea, I had to decorate 2 pumpkins.

Greg was very methodical and perfectionistic about it.  He drew an outline on paper first, cut out a template, and tried different coloring methods before getting the one he liked.  He was very technical in his approach and focused and worked very deliberately until his logo was just the way it was supposed to be.  It made me laugh.

And that is our family, and our pumpkins, who match our personalities perfectly!  Hopefully next year we'll get to include Levi in the process, and he won't want to just eat the paint :)
