Decorating Pumpkins

In order to avoid having to spend $10+ per pumpkin this year at a pumpkin patch, I went to our local grocery and got these babies for $2 each. A pretty good deal in my opinion for a night of fun decorating. Ashley loved painting her pumpkin with all of the colors of paint that we own. We can't figure out why she always ends up with paint all over her face and in her hair when she paints.
This princess dress-up kit was purchased for 50 cents and very much enjoyed by our little princess girl.
However, she didn't want to miss out on the fun of painting it too.
Ashley's finished pumpkin was very colorful and thickly painted. She likes to use the paintbrush like a spoon when she gets paint on it. It makes for a big mess.
Alyssa's finished pumpkin looked almost like the picture on the kit.
Now they are sitting on our doorstep and Alyssa's pumpkin has a few less accessories due to the foam pieces losing their stickiness and who-knows-what popping that balloon bubble. We love this time of year.
