Pumpkin Painting and Fall Decorating

Rachel, Bethany and Bekah's pumpkins

 In October, we have been extremely busy, but the girls and I have managed to fit in a few art projects too. Brent had an event one Friday and was out for the day and the girls and I had some errands to run so we stopped by Michaels on the way back to pick up craft pumpkins. Both the big girls painted theirs and Bethany and I had a little fun trying to get her footprints on a pumpkin. I am looking forward to using these to decorate in the fall again and again.

We usually go to downtown Lexington for their events on October 31st. Rachel was trying to decide if she was going to carry a basket or bucket when we went. I found these small bags at the dollar store and thought they would have fun decorating them to take. They have had a blast decorating these!

 

We also had a friend who shared on Facebook that the nearby Chick-fil-a was doing Pumpkin Painting on their patio at the end of October. It was free and I knew the girls would have fun.

 It was definitely fun! Bethany even "painted." I basically held her arm out where she couldn't paint herself and then let her move her arm all around. She actually got a lot of paint on her pumpkin. It was so cute!

 
 Here is the finished product.

I so enjoy creating and crafting. Both Rachel and Bekah loved art projects as well and we hope Bethany will enjoy our projects as she gets old enough to join in too. We had such fun celebrating fall with these projects this month!
