Halloween Craftiness

It is definitely Fall. The cold crisp air, the leaves changing colors, the random outbreaks of the flu (sorry, when your parents are crazy germaphobes . . . uh, yeah.) But one thing that is awesome about fall is that since we are now having to spend more time at home inside, we now have Craft Time!
Here I am with some super amazing cousins who just happened to love me so much as to come visit me. I love family, sigh.
I LOVE crafting!
The book that inspired our desire to draw a bunch of pumpkins.
And we bought some of these.
Our first attempt included drawing on them with markers, but we found out there are few problems with markers . . .

His mother is a horticulturist, but I think the term is green thumb, not blue finger.

Oh dear, the blueness is spreading! At least my Mommy does pay attention to somethings and made sure to buy the "Most Washable." What did Ryker get to do while we were all crafty . . . fend for himself on the floor. But don't you worry, my aunt cheered him up with a little treat called "Candy Corn." Yummy!
But today, during play doh time, I made my best Fall Craft with Daddy. Play Doh Pumpkins. I can't wait to see what else we will do.

Thanks for doing those crafts while we were visiting so that my kids feel like they have actually got to do some crafting. :)

And Ryker and I know that candy corn is a good way to get a serving a veggies. It's corn, right? :)
