Painting Pumpkins!

Last Thursday at play group, the activity was painting and decorating pumpkins! I always wondered why in the world moms did activities like this with kids 2 and under. I am still not sure I know why......I guess we want our kids to experience the fun of doing new things. But I am pretty sure we're a crazy group of moms!

Here is Kenzie "picking" her pumpkin:

We decided to get a group picture before things got TOO crazy....I'm not in it because I took the picture : )


Kenzie...still fully clothed. Luckily we realized the bad mix of a 1 year old wearing clothes and painting pumpkins BEFORE any clothing was damaged! YAY!



Kenzie going at that pumpkin with a brush in each hand!


"Helping" her friend Avie paint her pumpkin.


A little bit later, after we came in, Kenz and 3 of her little friends decided to sit on this step...it was completely unprompted! Such a cute photo-op though! I am glad Lindsay's camera was nearby and that Season was able to snap the shot before they were gone! (haha...notice how all the other "good" moms had gotten their children back into clothes while my little hooligan ran around mostly naked with paint all over her body.....oh well)


Here we are back at home...Kenzie was showing her wonderful masterpiece to her daddy.


It's paint...not blood : )


Kenzie liked carrying around her pumpkin and Ryken's pumpkin at the same time..


**A special thanks to Heather and Lindsay for the pictures...I forgot my camera that day and would have been really sad not to get any pictures!**
