pumpkin decorating

Instead of carving pumpkins this year we decided to paint them.
This may be another NEW tradition, because it is so much more
enjoyable for the kids! THEY can actually decorate the pumpkins.
The kids decided to have a witch and a pirate this year.
Kaipo gave the ideafor his, but mom and dad painted
the majority of the pirate,most of his painting is on the back.
On the other hand, Ame did paint most of hers.
They are saying, HAPPY HALLOWEEN, hence the wierd
expression on AMe's face!
The cute hanging pumpkin spider was made
by Kaipo at preschool.
Ame really wanted a hat for her witch,
so mom ran to the $$ store this morning a luckily found one.
Now they are complete and decorating the front porch,
awaiting all the trick-or-treater in just a few days!

I'm with you--painting is so much easier and kid friendly. They look so cute and original--quite the pirate punkin! Can't wait to see the kiddies in their costumes (particularily the Indian princess)

very cute! funny you said this....every year before this one, I have let the girls paint their pumpkins however they want. But this year I thought "no we're going to do it the traditional way" and cut them. And you know what? All the did the entire time was beg to paint them!! So I agree with you!

Yes, the pirate is very cute and original!
