Pumpkin Painting and Pumpkin Carving!!!!

Since we had pumpkins I thought the easiest thing to do would be paint them...since they were little one's from the field trip we went on.

There are a lot of pics from our painting session, but the boys were so cute!

Landon wanted to make his look like batman, with all black on one side

Blake ended up finger painting then hand painting halfway through :)

Being a stinker and pretending to lick the paint off!

We bought bigger pumpkins to carve with our friends!

This is the 3rd year that we have carved as the 3 families and I LOVE this tradition

We all eat dinner together and then spend time digging out guts and carving pumpkins!

The older the big boys have gotten, the more involved they have become

However, most of the work is still left to the dads :)

I usually pick out pumpkin seeds to roast later 

Then chat with the other two moms!

This year, we happened to all have superhero shirts and Landon really wanted all of us to wear them.

I'm "Miss America", Jared is "Flash", Landon is "Captain America" and Blake is "Batman"

So fun and so cute (both boys picked out the exact superhero shirt they wanted)!

Can you tell the theme this year in our house...since the pumpkin is Captain America also!

(I really have no idea how the obsession started, since they've never seen a show or read a book with these superhero...must just be something they've grasped onto from toys or being around other kids)!

Thankful for these boys, that ours can grow up with and hopefully someday be accountable to as young Christian men!

We love our fall traditions and we love these two families and their kiddos so much!

Here's to adding another kid to the mix next year and many, many more years of laughs and memories!
