when you can paint?!!! After carving pumpkins with the kids, for the first few times, we discovered that kid involvement only lasted a very short period of time. The end result was Lane and I carving pumpkins while the kids were well past done with it. So a couple of years ago we threw carving out the window and started painting the pumpkins.
My favorite things about painting the pumpkins:
1. They enjoy the entire thing!!!
2. They do it all themselves which makes them very happy!
3. Way less mess!
4. It's much quicker!
So until our kids are old enough to start and finish their own pumpkin, I'm sticking with painting them.

You are one smart mom. I can't even get Chad to stick his hand inside a pumpkin!
That a really good idea! I always end up doing all the work and then cleaning up the mess!
I HATE the pumpkin mess. Unfortunately my kids are old enough to appreciate the whole process. But we are definitely waiting until Nathan gets home from his trip!
I don't paint my pumpkins or carve them they just sit on my porch and look pretty. I know I'm a lame mom but Mikaila doesnt even know yet so until she does....
