This weekend was a big disappointment for our sweet children. See, every year the Baxters throw a Halloween Party for all the grandchildren. They go to a pumpkin patch and have a scavenger hunt as well as other games. Well, after much anticipation, when the time came our family was sick. I couldn't bring myself to spread our pathetic situation to our relatives. So, to make up for it we purchased pumpkins and painted them. A small consolation, I know, but the kids accepted it.
The smallest child creates a beautiful piece of abstract art.
Slightly less abstract with a face is Rachel's pumpkin masterpiece.
Ben planned his out but then his creativity got the best of him.
I made a stirring pumpkin patch scene
While Nathan went with a witch. No, I was not posing as his inspiration.
Clean up time. Gee, where did everyone go?
Next on to the costumes. I have to come up with Harry Potter as well as two Barbie Three Musketeers. Good luck to me.

You guys are too cute. Clean up at my house looks exactly the same. Why is that? :)
Those are GREAT pumpkins. I love painting pumpkins. It is sad you were sick and had to miss the family party. I am worried that the same thing is going to happen to us this weekend.
