Belated Pumpkins

We had a belated pumpkin carving event in our home last night.  Yes - it is November now and Halloween is over....but, pumpkin carving never happened in October and we thought Meredith would love it.  So, we went ahead.



The texture was a bit surprising at first...
..and finally she decided she'd had enough of the digging out part.

So...we moved on to painting.  Definitely a big hit!  She started this way for about 30 seconds...and...

...quickly moved into a favorite of her's - finger painting frolic!!  Erik and I were having a laugh here (as you can see from E's face) because Erik has a really hard time with how messy MJ gets while painting.  He has to bite his tongue so he doesn't say things like, "How about you use the paintbrush...oh, oh not that way!"  I encourage him to let her just be and explore - she loves it!  :)


And, does she ever!  She changed her orange pumpkin into a greenish-brownish creation.

And, on to carving to create these!
