pumpkin painting

Since i only have matix a few days a week. i love to spoil him with lots of fun!

I love fall. and halloween. and pumpkin carving. and decorating. actually just everything holiday-ish.
so basically i just love everything about this time of year.

And now that matix is getting older, it makes everything that much funner.

One Saturday this month, we decorated the house.

Now every time we come home he talks about how it's Halloween and he asks when we gets to go 

trick or treating.

I was surprised he even knew what it was...apparently mickey mouse clubhouse taught him all about it. 

I was super excited to carve pumpkins with him. 

But then when i thought more about it...knives and two year old dont mix too well.

So i figured there wouldnt be too much he could actually do to help.

So i compromised with pumpkin painting..and it was an absolute hit!

(i even let him pick out the treat...sugar cookies it was)

Now his excitement when we pull up to the house has shifted from "his scarecrow..."

to "his pumpkins"  :)
