Hey hey hey! Like always, I hope you all had a wonderful, relaxing weekend. Mine was pretty good as well, no complaints here.
Over the weekend, my husband and I did our annual pumpkin painting with our kids and our niece and nephew. Since my husband is an artist (Web/Graphic Designer), he leads the kids in the actual activity. I’m more of the….let’s say….the assistant during the activity. LOL!
Typically the kids choose a character they want to paint on their pumpkin, however, this year, my husband wanted everyone to do something different. What you may ask?!
Instead of painting a character on their pumpkin, he wanted them to paint abstract art on their pumpkin. The kids overwhelmingly, quickly opposed my husband’s idea and pretty much decided to do their own thing. However, my husband still choose to keep his abstract theme for his pumpkin.
Everyone gave their pumpkins names, so check them out below.
