Pumpkin Painting

We I decided to take the easy way out on carving pumpkins this year and suggested to Zane that we paint them instead!  He wasn't sure about it at first, but then I informed him that if he wanted to carve it, he would have to help clean out the guts (something he despises) - he was sold on the idea to paint it at that point!!!  Haha!  Not sure if that will work every year.

Anyway, thanks to Pinterest I decided to do Chevron stripes (I'm a little obsessed with them right now) on my pumpkin...stinkin' tape (even though I used painters tape) pealed off a lot of my paint after it dried :(  It took a long time to figure out how to do the stripes on a round subject.  Oh well, definitely a Pinterest fail!

Zane on the other hand got much more creative and went to town on his pumpkin.  After giving it a face, he decided to paint "jingle bells" all over the back - they look like a break out of measles to me, but hey, if he says they are jingle bells, than who am I to say different...sometimes beauty is in the eye of the beholder right?!!

Regardless, we had a great time!!

Notice the slab of yellow paint in his hair...I bet you thought it was mustard huh?!!!
