Painting A Pumpkin

When it comes to paint and toddlers - there is exactly one mindset that will get you through the experience. "The messier, the better."

I knew that more paint would end up on our floors and in Jackson's hair than on the pumpkin, so I took the appropriate precautions - washable paint, a tarp, and plenty of wipes. (The wipes were not to clean him up, but just to get enough paint off to get him up to the bathtub without dripping on the carpet).

And we rocked it. We got messy, dumped paint all over, smeared, walked through, and sat in it.

The messier, the better.
