Fall Tradition...

Painting Pumpkins

Giving children knives....to carve pumpkins at this stage of life is out of the question. So the past couple of years we've painted the pumpkins we've picked.

Here are some pictures of our little Picasso's at work...

While Shep likes to keep it light.
Doing well boys...doing well
Dad stopped by to get in on the action
Shep making sure dad's watching
Sol getting some love from grandma J
Baby love..
It's nice to have home made decorations for fall. :)

A job well done and a good time...

There is no season when such pleasant and sunny spots may be lighted on, and produce so pleasant an effect on the feelings, as now in October.

The similarities truly are never-ending between our children! That's exactly how my oldest/middle are....

It must be something to do with birth order, do you think? :-)
