Halloween Craftiness

The month of October was crazy around here. My son wanted to do "Halloween Stuff" all month long. He decided he is the "Biggest Fan of Halloween." I'm not sure what the fascination with the holiday is, but I indulged him when I could.

Roundup of some of the stuff we did.

Painting a picture frame.

Mine is on the left. His is on the right. He designed it all by himself.

"Vampire Teeth"

When I dragged out all the fall decorations, I had some bats left over from Trunk or Treat last year.
I surprised my little guy with decorating his room with them.
It's really the small things that make him so happy!

More paint.

Halloween masks and "spooky birdhouses." Thank goodness for the $1 isle!

Jack-O-Lantern quesadilla for lunch.

Frankenstein rice krispie treat for the preschool Halloween party.

Of course, we had to decorate a pumpkin. The choice was obvious....a storm trooper from Star Wars (my four year old was a Jedi Knight and the 18 month old was Yoda). My life revolves around Star Wars right now.

Fall Art

I love the Fall and decorating for the season. A couple years ago, I went to one of those paint along places where they teach you step by step how to paint a "work of art." I happened to go and paint a "Halloween" or "Fall Pumpkin" picture. Of course, after that, I had to have more art to hang on the wall with my lone pumpkin. I've added to the collection last year and again this year. I really wanted to involve my family and document "us" somehow. Here is what we have done so far....

My first "Fall Pumpkin" piece of art that started everything.

 

Last year, we did this ghost print with our footprints. It is simply amazing that I got my
wonderful husband to cooperate. Arts and crafts aren't typically his "thing."

This year's creation was a pumpkin patch of sorts. I used the palm print of each of our
hands for the pumpkins. I think it turned out pretty cute.

I labeled all of our pumpkins so we would remember who is who in years to come!
