After living in New York for three years, the thought of finally having a backyard to do small projects like this has left me overzealous to say the least.  Which is how we ended up with 8 pumpkins to carve/decorate.  Luckily the boy was game to help and after carving just 2 of the bunch at our get together last week, we spent Saturday afternoon painting the rest.  With just 2 cans of spray paint, masking tape, dot stickers, and metallic sharpies – this project was inexpensive and easy and the results are pretty fun.  Just tape, spray and enjoy!  I chose a few patterns, a few solids, and a few with writing.  My favorites are the tiny polka dotted one and the all gold stunner.  Extra candy to any trick or treater who compliments these little lovelies.
