Two weeks ago we promised the girls we would pick & paint pumpkins for FHE. After 4 days of non-stop rain we saw a brief break in the clouds. But we weren't quick enough. Nope, we got to pick pumpkins in the pouring rain. (Do not be deceived by Caitlyn's jacket- it was really quite warm & muggy.)
Caitlyn wasn't so great at staying under the umbrella, she wanted to be one with the elements. I wish my camera was a bit better so you could see how hard it really was raining.
We ran 2 quick errands on the way home & as we pulled in the garage we were surrounded by crystal clear blue skys that lingered for a few hours! But picking in the rain was so much more dramatic.The girls each chose star eyes and nose plus a mouth with a square tooth. They stayed in the lines pretty well & then got super creative on the back.
We tried an experiment: Madisen left her pumpkin in the house overnight & Caitlyn's sat on the porch. Which one do you think was dry in the morning? Madisen's of course! The pain on Caitlyn's was still wet- she got it all over herself when she went to check on it! Gotta love the humidity!
