Pumpkin painting with six kids under the age of four is more of a workout than you might imagine! It's a good thing we had four moms to keep things under control! Here are some pictures of the kids working on their masterpieces.
June started out with a mosaic of colors. She liked it for a while, but a few days later, we created some truly spooky pumpkins. You'll see . . .
Winnie had a great time painting her hands, arms and face. She managed to get a couple of dabs on her baby pumpkin, as she called it.
Amos was all business with his painting. He didn't even take a break to smile for the camera!
Ella, on the other hand, never passes up the chance for a pretty photo-op.
And young master Charlie must have been pretty worried about getting his clothes dirty!
We finished off the afternoon with a bit of dress-up - until everyone got over-tired, started to do battle, and began the bawl-fest! You know, the usual. I'm sure the kids got to go home and sleep it off after a big day of painting! 
Here's what we ended up with a few days later. We found some fun patterns in our National Geographic for kids (thanks U.B.). June did the pink cyclops all by herself! Pretty spooky, ey? Don't get scared now!

I'm impressed! Those pumpkins are pretty sweet. Arlee said to tell June hi and nice job on the pink pumpkin.
Your pumpkins turned out so great! I am going to have to copy you and look up some cute patterns. My girls have been asking every day if we can paint ours, and Alexis really wants to carve at least one.... I am so scared to let her use a knife.
Good job on the painting.

cute blog!
your pumpkins are so cute. I love how you painted them. We took the boys to my grandpa's house to pick out there pumpkins and Kade has been begging us to let him paint them. I think this year we will carve them.
Tell the girlies their pumpkins are awesome. And tell June I'm trying to get a good video of CJ up on the blog for her. He's not into it right now, though - apparently superheroes don't get their picture taken...
