Painting Pumpkins 2009

We painted our very first pumpkins last year.  This year, we decided to follow the tradition.

Here’s Chance painting his pumpkin WHITE… Apparently, the WHOLE base of the pumpkin needed to be white “because Daddy’s white.” — seriously… that’s what he said.

I think the whites of the eyes are always a bit freaky looking before I add the pupils.

I dunno what you think… but I think that’s a pretty happy looking pumpkin.

I was letting this dry and tending to Paxton for a couple minutes.  When I got back…

… I found THIS painted to the side.  I left it cuz it was so cute.

My sons are happy.  My husband is happy.  My family is happy.  This makes ME happy.

You see… we’re painting more than just pumpkins over here. We’re painting our future… one brushstroke at a time.  However, I can tell you I don’t paint so well, so I’m letting God guide my strokes.

Of course, I still fight for control over the paintbrush sometimes… but He is faithful and constant, ready to step back in whenever I invite Him to.

I can’t wait to see what the final product of our family is going to look like.
