To get a bit more life out of our pumpkins this year we decided to paint them rather than just carve them. This turned out to be a good idea because we didn't have power the weekend of Halloween and were not in any state to undertake carving enterprises.
The painting was a two-day effort, started with me and finished with Phil later. Pip worked carefully on a vampire motif, complete with two bats on either side of the main vampire. He wanted to write "VAMPIRE PUMPKIN" on the top, but we didn't get that far.
Vivie's pumpkin was awash with thick layers of every color imaginable. She wanted to write "MOST BEAUTIFUL HALLOWEEN PUMPKIN" on hers. Also didn't get to do that either ... pumpkin was way to wet to allow for wording at the end of either painting night.
