Pumpkin Decorating

We got our inspiration for this years pumpkins from Pinterest.  Yes I actually created something I found on Pinterest!  I've got to give all the credit to Casey for these cute little buggers, I only did the small green pig with a bow and the green pig with a mustache. 

 The kids painted the pumpkins a solid color then that evening Casey and I stayed up till 1:30 (YIKES) painting the faces.  The red one is my favorite!  I asked the kids which one they liked best and they started telling me all the powers each bird has and basing their preference on which bird is most powerful.  Silly me judging on looks.

 I don't know what we thought that little piece of cardboard in the middle of the table was protecting, because it did not keep the table from getting painted on.  Also we have totally done enough painting projects to know painting with shirts on is NOT A GOOD IDEA, yet we always let them try.  Oh well...

Overall a fun project and we were all happy with the results!  I should add that the pumpkins do not look near this good now.  After Miles decided to play pumpkin bowling quite a bit of the paint chipped off, but they are still recognizeable so we'll consider that a victory!
