Ninja Turtle Pumpkin
After pulling out all my fall decorations, I realized I had a chalkboard pumpkin but couldn’t think of what to write on it. Since I have it beside a chalkboard sign, I didn’t really want another saying on it so I asked Cory to draw the standard jack o’lantern face on the pumpkin.
Wrong.
Cory had other ideas and this is what I got…
A ninja turtle pumpkin. Bless his child-like heart.
He was so proud of his artwork, there’s no way I could erase it. And I do have about 99.9% control of the decorations in the house so .01% for him is the least I can do, right?
Plus, I don’t really decorate for Halloween other than a wreath on my door and “trick or treat” sign you see so I thought it would be fun to leave up ‘ole Donatello at least through Halloween.
Since it is sitting in the window between our kitchen and living room, I did have him draw the jack o’lantern face that I originally asked for on the other side so the kitchen would have a little Halloween decor too.
Do y’all have husbands like mine? I can’t be the only one married to a 12 year old at heart, can I?
By the way, I love that 12 year old heart with everything I am and I wouldn’t expect anything less than Donatello’s face instead of a jack o’lantern :)

Please don’t cheat poor Cory. He has .1% control not .01%.

Aw! You’re right, Papa! Wouldn’t want to cheat Cory would I???

Haha, that’s hilarious! My brother is almost 30 but was so obsessed with the turtles as a little boy that I know he’d looooove to have a Donatello pumpkin this year!

Yep! Cory just turned 29 and some boys never grow up :)

Don’t worry – my husband has had a KISS pumpkin for the past few years… boys never grow up :)
Paige Sloan
That’s awesome! I wouldn’t want Cory any other way!

It is probably a good thing we do not live close to each other. We would never see our husbands because they would be spending way too much time together. Justin would have drawn a Transformer though. I can honestly say I know more about Transformers than I ever thought I would. Ninja turtles seem to be my next lesson that he is working on, lol! Love the chalkboard pumpkin idea! Brilliant!!!
Paige Sloan
BAHAHA!!! My husband loves Transformers too but it would have taken too long to draw! He has perfected his turtle drawing skills the past 29 years!
Jessi Otey
ha! I absolutely love this!
Paige Sloan
Thanks! My husband and his obsession with Ninja Turtles!

Hysterical!! Cory sounds like quite the character… And his crafting skills are much more elevated than my husbands!
