....paintin' PUMPKINS...!

What better way to kick off the Fall season with a little trip to the pumpkin patch?  We have several amazing patches in the Bay Area with my favs being off PCH 1 in Half Moon Bay, but since that trek wasn't in our plans, my friend Samantha and I headed to our neighborhood 'patch to pick up some 'pumps to paint.  This patch is pretty cute....only one of those cheap, plastic blow-up decorations in site (more than one, and it is a no-go for me)....hay rides, turkeys and a bunny all were part of the festive scene.

Samantha! 

I used acrylic paint for the base of all my pumpkins.  I had high hopes to use painter's tape to mask off perfect chevron and striped patterns but it ended up taking off the paint when used....I don't think I let it dry enough.  Note to self for next year.  So when you see the pic of my chevron pumpkin, well, don't judge.

i don't paint pumpkins - i just lounge and am fabulous.

they came out pretty cute!

some bats for sillies

the OCD in me wants to throw these off the porch, but we will just let them be.

happy halloween!!
