Preparing our Pumpkins

Back in August when it was TOO HOT to go out side, Landon and I made a trip to Michaels. I needed a new frame to replace one that had been broken. He spotted a bin full of those "fake" pumpkins, and had to have one. I decided it would be a fun little craft for us to do together, and it would make a nice addition to our Halloween deco this year.

I bought him some purple, orange, green and silver glitter paint to decorate it with. When we got home, he had to do it right then. I dressed him in one of his Daddy's t-shirts and let him go at it.

He really concentrated on each color and what he was doing. I love that he likes to do stuff like this with me. I will enjoy it while it lasts. :)

The finished product, but without the face. He and I agreed we would let Daddy help him paint the face on. They did it one afternoon while I was at work. They got a little overboard with the black marker. Daddy put a face on it, then Landon wanted a mustche on it. Then Landon put some more "decoration" on it. It almost covers up all the neat glitter paint, but it still looks great.

Its a little early yet, but Landon and I are thinking about putting out our Halloween Decor soon!

We have a lot of indoor decor, but would like to find some more to put outside for Halloween before all the fall/Thanksgiving stuff goes out. I LOVE fall. And I would love it even more if we could get some true fall weather here.
