Painting Pumpkins

Since Lucy isn't big enough to carve her own pumpkin, we decided that we would paint pumpkins this year. And from the results, we might be doing it every year. She LOVED it. This is from a child who makes you wipe her hand as soon as she gets anything on it! We painted 2 very little pumpkins and then moved on to the bigger pumpkins. Lucy let us put her handprint on one, as you can see from the top post, and Daddy and I helped out by drawing her name, flowers and polka dots, per her request. Lucy must have loved it, because this morning she comes running into the bathroom while I was taking a shower to ask if we could paint more pumpkins tonight!

Lucy also has developed a sense of it getting dark outside, and that you should be at home when it gets dark. I guess this stems from her wanting to go to the park or take a walk and we tell her that is it getting dark. Anyways, Kevin went to the Kansas Sports Hall of Fame dinner with my dad tonight, and a little after 7 she gets up and looks out the window and says, "MOMMY, it's getting dark (she pronounces it gark) outside, Daddy be home soon."
