Pumpkin Painting and Play!

What a special day...

Gorgeous fall weather, 2 pumpkins, 2 palettes of paint, 2 precious children, and a yard to enjoy playing barefooted in the leaf-covered grass.  
While Noah napped, Savannah and I headed out on the deck to paint her pumpkin.  She picked both (hers and Noah's) out at Michael's. She enjoyed using her new "splat" brushes!  

She did a beautiful job and only painted for about 3 minutes when she said, "I'm finished!!!!"  This was right after she took her brush and brushed all over her pumpkin mixing all the colors together. =) Picture of finished product a little further down...

Now, about an hour and a half later, Noah is awake and ready! Could not snap many pictures of him due to paint eating and paintbrush sucking.... =(  But he LOVED having paint on his hands.  I gave him the brush first and helped him make a couple strokes...THAT's when he tried to eat the end of the brush!  So, then I just rubbed his hands all in the paint and let him pick up his pumpkin...and I helped him splat some paint all around.  He just giggled! =)   

This is Savannah's finished pumpkin that he swiftly picked up and threw down before I could get to him.  His pumpkin beautifully sits in the distance...

TA-DAH!!!!!! A keepsake for many years!

Rewind to some playtime before Noah awoke from his nap...
We love her playful nature!  She's so fun...

After painting, they both enjoyed running around the backyard.  The red sticker on Noah's back is compliments of his sister...=)

So very thankful for this day full of playful memories!  The bond between Savannah and Noah is flourishing and it is pure joy to watch.
