decorating pumpkins

like i said in my previous post, evan and i picked out pumpkins for the whole family at the pumpkin patch. we brought them home to decorate and had a lot of fun doing it. we had gotten a booklet of mickey mouse halloween stickers and so that's what evan decorated his pumpkin with. he picked out each sticker he wanted on there and i helped him put them on. he loves mickey mouse. he can say "mi", which is mickey and "goo" for goofy. but his very favorite sticker, and seemingly favorite thing about halloween, is the ghost sticker! he will say "boo" a thousand times in a row when he sees his pumpkin and that sticker. and he generally just walks around saying boo and "scaring" everyone.

the next night, matt and i painted our pumpkins. we have never been very good at carving, so we decided to just forgo the mess this year and pull out the paints. i was specifically asked not post who painted which one, so i will leave it for you to decide. let's just say one of us looked up a picture and copied it, the other was more... creative. and what we resulted was a bleeding sumo wrestler? not qite sure, but we had a lot of laughs over it.

we only put our 2 pumpkins outside because evan likes to carry his around the house or take it with him in the car so we decided to leave his inside

so if you come to our house, here is how you will be greeted today! happy halloween everyone!
