We went to Kroger after church today and Serif immediately spotted the pumpkins! This particular store had shopping carts just his size so I let him get one to carry our pumpkin. George tagged along today too.
Once we got home, we had lunch and he wanted to carve the pumpkin. This prompted looking through our halloween bins where we found face paint, bats, skeletons and much more. He was inspired by the guy on the face paint package to have his face painted. This is the first. He has never been interested in that prior to now. He even asked for the red paint to be applied to the center of his forehead like his head was cracked and bleeding.
He then wanted to paint my face so I let him. We were really having a lot of fun.
Then it was time to carve the pumpkin. I always forget how long the cleaning process takes. He was pretty patient and played with the guts for a long time.
We looked online and on Pinterest for ideas for our pumpkin. I didn't really want to carve it yet since it won't last that long and wanted to paint it or something. Of all the pretty pumpkins on there, the one he picked out to mimic was a skeleton cave. He is definitely Jeff's son! :)
He just got this skeleton at the dollar tree in Florida. I thought it would be too big but we managed to fit him in there pretty well. We also added a bat and spider.
Once all the pumpkin stuff was cleaned up and done, he went to find his bat wings to watch The Nightmare Before Christmas. It's been one Halloween fun day!
