Pumpkin Painting Tradition - Autumn

Every Halloween my mom cuts pumpkins out of wood and we paint them. I've been doing it since I was 3 and thankfully I've gotten better at it. We have all sorts of themes to each pumpkin: Banana, pirate, cheer-leading, politics, salad, even Christmas pumpkins! (We were a little late one year) But each pumpkin is different and I  love that time with my family and we get creative and think of what we are going to  paint each year.

I'm holding the first pumpkin I every painted!
