Pumpkins

It has been a fun craft-filled few days for us here. 

Sunday night we had a costume party at the church. Having kids is a great excuse not to have to dress up since they are cute enough no one pays attention to me. :) Here is my cute little lion!

My cute little ladybug joined forces with friends who were carving a pumpkin. 

She quickly realized that cutting into pumpkins is messy (that's my girl!) so she enlisted the help of Daddy to paint a pumpkin instead.

The holiday season brings out some sort of craftiness in me that apparently hibernates until fall. When hibernation's over, an obsession for Pinterest emerges. 

After Adele had so much fun painting a pumpkin, I decided to push craft activities this week. Last night we went to Hobby Lobby to build up our craft supplies. We started with these cute little spiders, made from pipe cleaners and googly eyes.

Here is Adele, scared of the spider that just landed on her shoulder. Yes, she is still in her pajamas because craft time simply couldn't wait for trivial activities like getting dressed.

Then we turned one of her small pumpkins into a spider.

Personally, I loved the spider-pumpkin. But Adele wanted to paint another small pumpkin. And craft time was supposed to be for her...

Here she is with her masterpieces. We have one more small pumpkin and I am rooting for another spider for our porch. :)
