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 :)
Asher's masterpiece
Me being creative with my painting
Our pumpkins drying
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 :)

This weekend I...
... slept in for 2 mornings in a row (glorious!)
... received an awesome back and foot massage from my husband (also glorious!)
... watched a movie
... bought a box of wine
... had 2 Thanksgiving dinners, one with my favorite Holiday Nut and Lentil Loaf - yum
... inherited my sister-in-law's fat clothes. Bonus = some free new items. Downside = some of them either too short or too big for me. I think this is both a good and bad thing.
... had my butt kicked at Zumba - now that was a workout!
... found Levi sitting up in his crib all by himself - a big accomplishment as we've been working on this move with his physiotherapist for 3-4 weeks now.
... took a mini road trip to my father-in-law's camp and peed in an out house
... put shorts on my boys in October - wow, that was a warm weekend!
... supported my friend from afar while she ran her first half-marathon in a neighboring province.
... was blessed beyond words for time with my incredible little family, and feeling super thankful for it!
Happy Thanksgiving!!!
