pumpkins everywhere breathe a sigh of relief

Station 1: Give your pumpkin a bath

Station 2:  Dry him

Station 3:  Paint!

The essential outdoor hand-washing station, accompanied by the outdoor potty.  (not pictured)  I do what I can to keep the paint outside.  There is a strict "No one goes inside" rule at my Pumpkin Painting Parties.

This past Wednesday, I held our (second?  third?)  according to my blog, third annual Pumpkin Painting Party.  The first one wasn't really a party, I guess.  Anyway, it was the biggest yet, and I have more pictures to come!
