The Pumpkin Personality Test

You've no doubt heard of several different types of personality tests. They are supposed to tell you what kind of person you are and how you are bent. Well, we did our own accidental, kind of personality test the other day.

One thing I love about fall is the potential for a lot of great crafts for the kids. With Halloween being this weekend, I thought this week was perfect for decorating pumpkins. The kids got to pick out their own "baby pumpkin" and we decorated them with felt and yarn yesterday. I had cut out a bunch of different shapes to use for the faces and then they got to choose how they would use the shapes. They were pretty creative and showed their personalities through how they decided to decorate their pumpkin. Grace especially surprised me by using what were supposed to be eye shapes and making them into big teeth. She has always been our wild, fly by the seat of your pants kid. Kristin was predictable and very her. Her pumpkin was clean and looked just how you think a jack-o-lantern is supposed to look. Very by the book. And Elliott's is the product of a 3 year old just learning how to do things all by herself. She did a great job. They all did.
