It's our annual tradition to get little pumpkins and paint them. It's a fun activity the kids really enjoy. This year J got to participate. I put his bink in so he wouldn't be tempted to taste the paint :-)

The kids heard a loud noise while Daddy was working on his truck. It made
all 3 jump out of their skin.L was a very helpful big sister to J while I was taking pictures.

S loves to paint. He gets into at first and then 5 minutes later, just starts
getting messy. The messier the better for him!!

J did great painting. No tasting and only a minor
mess. L and S were way messier than he was : -)

Now L is getting the bright idea to start using her hands.....

YIKES!!!!!

Then S has to join in on the fun so his hands were super
messy too. Thankfully we were outside with this painting project!

And here's the final products!!!

Next up was swinging fun but not before J threw a hilacious fit when I took him to clean his hands. Oh my goodness - he was MAD when he realized everyone else was staying out to swing and he was going inside. I washed him quickly and back out we went.

J loves to swing but too high.L just learned a few days ago to pump her legs and get herself going on the swing.

S learned tonight to pump his legs. Only one left to swing themselves :-)

S has the coolest eyes. They are totally multi-colored. I usually can't capture this with
the camera but got kinda close tonight.
