pumpkins.

We never got around to carving jack-o-lanterns this year. I'm not sure why. 

Let's blame it on cute new babies that have been born lately... 

This baby was the first. There have been three more born, but only 2 survived. Sad. Abe is still growing and running all around like crazy. 

So no jack-o-lanterns this year, but Lawson and Gretchen did decorate a couple pumpkins one day... 

I love the Little People princesses lined up in the window. =) 

Gretchen was so proud of her polka dots...

Cute and colorful and a whole lot less messy than carving pumpkins.
(Minus the part where Gretchen managed to get paint on her sock and then walked around on the wood floor. That part wasn't awesome... )
