Painting Punkins

Yesterday we went to Wal-Mart to buy some punkins, yes Wal-Mart...I have decided that the Pumpkin Patch is a complete waste of money! The punkins at Wal-Mart were actually bigger than the ones at Washington Farms and I haven't heard any really good things about Corn Dawgs this year either, in fact the only thing I have heard is that it is not worth $12 a person!!! Anyways back to my point, the girls wanted to carve a punkin and last year I let Hayden paint one too...Gracie was too little last year, so we decided to let them paint one a piece this year. It was a big hit with Gracie, she had so much fun and thank goodness for washable paint because they had it everywhere and I do mean everywhere...even places I'm not to sure about! They painted their punkins for about 45 minutes in all different colors. They really did enjoy it, Hayden was trying to make her punkin perfect and Gracie was just throwing paint everywhere on hers. The deal was that Daddy was going hunting with Sue and Rowdy and while he was gone they could paint their punkins and when he got back home, we would carve the big one. Well, Daddy had a few issues hunting and ended up getting home a little later than expected, so we are going to carve the big punkin tonight instead. I think it worked out good, now they have something exciting to do tonight too!

Big Sisters!!!!
