I don’t carve pumpkins anymore, I paint! Because I have small children, this is just the easiest and most fun for them now. My daughter LOVED her Minnie Mouse Pumpkin last year. I have a big pumpkin primed and ready to paint on Halloween. I’ll reveal it soon!

These are some wonderful pumpkins the older girls at my daughter’s school painted. Each year they display their art work and I’m always super impressed with their creativity! Some are painted on plastic pumpkins, perfect for saving for next year.

Dr. Suess is so fun! This is a big gourd sitting on a plastic container, the hat is a paper plate.

This is my all time favorite time of the year. I can’t wait to visit a pumpkin patch. I wish I lived near this guy’s house!

Check out Ed Moody’s house in Frankfort, Michigan. 

These are REAL pumpkins! 

Last year Ed’s display attracted in excess of 15,000 people and well over 1,000 trick-or-treaters.

Ed started to carve pumpkins when he was about 6 years old. He didn’t start sculpting smaller pumpkins until 15 years ago and graduated to giant pumpkins 7 years ago when his 5 year dream of carving a Cinderella pumpkin came true with his purchase of a 590 lb. pumpkin. He is now known for his Cinderella carriage pumpkin every year.
