Story Book Pumpkin

Trenton's school was offering a fun activity for all grades and ages, to pick your favorite story book character and decorate a pumpkin like it. So, since we have been going to our library group every Monday, we have LOTS of new favorite books. I think our most favorite so far though is The Very Hungry Caterpillar. So I came up with the idea of putting together a few small pumpkins and painting them to make the caterpillar, antenna, legs and all! So tonight we had our pumpkin fun!

Concentrating so hard.






A little perfectionist. Hmmm, I wonder where he gets it from?
