Pumpkins, Pumpkins

Posing for Mommy in front of the corn stalks.

She liked the pumpkins inside much better as they weren't dirty.

Clean pumpkins to sit on!

She was all about picking up the pumpkins in the field until she discovered they were dirty.

Painting her pumpkin. She picked blue to start with.

I finally convinced her to add some other colors.

This poor pumpkin has so many layers of paint on it... she could have painted all day!

Delaney was so not into touching the pumpkin guts... but what did I expect if she wouldn't even touch dirty pumpkins in the field at the patch right?

She liked watching Daddy clean out the pumpkin and eventually she decided to help him.

Concentrating on using that scoop... we wouldn't want the pumpkin guts to touch her hand now would we....

Gaining some confidence as she scooped out the pumpkin guts.

Still unsure about the whole idea....

Dancing around the finished pumpkin.

This thing was a pain! The walls of the pumpkin were so thick the little tool broke and try carving out letters with a steak knife! yikes!

Delaney is definately a little princess and proved that to us on our pumpkin patch trip, painting and carving activities this year. She woulnd't touch the dirty pumpkins, I had to wipe her hand each time she got paint on it and she was very skeptical about touching the pumpkin guts! I think she still had a good time with all the pumpkin activities!
