Our Little Pumpkin


How do you decorate a pumpkin with a 4 month old? With paint of course!

Before we even started, Layla wanted to feel very artsy so she put on an outfit to get into the right mind frame. (Any chance to put our little girl in legwarmers...I will take!)

We started out with handprints, but we quickly realized that was not going to work out. Layla likes to keep her hands in a tight fist so she doesn't drop her "treasures" :-)
The smaller pumpkin has colorful Layla footprints.

The bigger pumpkin has black footprints and it made a spider. Layla is going to enter the spider pumpkin into the pumpkin contest at the Pumpkin Fest next week (how many times can you use pumpkin in a sentence?). We'll take a picture of it next week with the gazillion other 5 and under entries!

Layla with her pumpkins! A special thanks to our kitty friends Blue and Rocket for all of their assistance with the pumpkin painting and to our good friends Stephanie and Adam-- They grew these pumpkins :-)

Leg warmers are great! She's always so adorable. The spider pumpkin is a great idea so good luck in Layla's first pumpkin contest!

Morning -

LOVED the lil leg warmers!!!! Way too cute......

I must say Ms. Layla is quite the artist at this young age - perhaps some of Grandpa Baaders' talent was passed on to her.

Good luck at the contest.

Love,

Super AA
