pumpkin painting...

Our complex had a pumpkin painting party at the community center last week. It was so cute when we walked in the door and a bunch of the kids yelled "Hey! It's Charlie!" He got all shy and then whispered "those are some of my bus friends." They must be from other stops because I didn't recognize any of them. It was fun to see him interacting with some of his school friends.

We didn't know if Cannon would be interested in this so we just got a pumpkin for Charlie at first. What were we thinking? If Charlie is doing something you better believe that Cannon will be doing it to. He will not be left out on anything. Ever.

I started Cannon out with just a little bit of paint and then he was pretty happy just dipping his brush in the water and then going over his pumpkin. He eventually figured out there were other colors of paint and he would reach way over to the other side of the table to dip into them. He was very serious about the whole process.


Charlie just kept plugging along until most of his pumpkin was covered in paint. These types of projects are not usually his favorite, but he had fun anyway.




There were some kids waiting for a turn so we hurried the kids to finish and Cannon was not happy about this one bit. I think he could have stayed there all night dipping his brush over and over again. Maybe he will be the artistic one??
