Picasso's Pumpkin

Will brought out his mad artistic skills today by painting his first pumpkin! We decided he isn't quite ready to use a sharp knife and saw to carve...so paint it was. He had a great time. I expected it to be a finger-painting session but he grabbed the brush and got right to painting. It was pretty messy but most of the paint was contained to Will, his clothes, the driveway, and Keith's jeans. I stayed clean. Keith also carved his own pumpkin, which turned out much less messy than Will's. But not as artistic, that's for sure. Two creative geniuses!


Messy boy!

Pumpkin Pickin'

Today we took Will to the pumpkin patch and let him pick out his very own pumpkin. He has a blast! He ran from pumpkin to pumpkin trying to pick each one up. He kept going for the giant pumpkins...maybe he has little man's syndrome and thinks he's bigger than he is!! He is looking forward to finger painting his pumpkin soon. Pictures to follow of that messiness.



Which one should we choose? There are so many!













We had a great time!

Grandma and the Aunties came to town!

Will was very spoiled last week when Grandma Gigi and her entourage of Aunties visited our neck of the woods. Grandma Gigi, Aunt Donna, Aunt Fran, "Aunt" Margie, and "Aunt" Mandy showed us quite a good time. We spent a little time on the beach; however, due to some cold weather and rain, we ended up visiting almost every mall in the area during the week! I even got some new clothes out of the deal...not bad for me. Will really enjoyed all of the attention from Grandma and the Aunties. Thanks for coming to Virginia!
