more Fall Break fun

We got back from Ft. Payne on Wednesday afternoon....so that left us with 2 more (4 if you count the weekend but those days were already scheduled) days to fill. On Thursday Kierstyn had some friends over to play. They all enjoyed using Kierstyn's new paint set.

And they all decided it would be fun to rake leaves into a pile and jump!
On Friday we all cleaned house, went to the library and then headed to the store for some art supplies......Halloween craft-making projects filled our Friday afternoon.
While some of us were crafting, Trevin thought it would be more fun just to play in the paint!

Look what we made! From L to R: Mom, Kyler, Kierstyn, & Trevin
A couple of years ago I discovered how much I like to carve pumpkins. Friday night while Kyler and Kelly were at the football game, Kierstyn, Trevin, my mom and I scooped out the "guts" and roasted pumpkin seeds--yum! This is the pumpkin that I carved and Kierstyn says she really likes it.

NO WAY! You carved that?? That is amazing! I love how crafty you are and how you are passing that down to your children. When H gets older, I'm sending him your way to teach him the crafty ways of life. :)

Zack says you need to enter a pumpkin carving contest. That pumpkin is awesome. He wants to enter too. I love your craftiness! I want to be more like you!

Cute things... I think my sisters can agree with me- the stress of the mess of the crafts is what keeps me from doing it. I feel bad for my girls, they are so deprived. Each week I have a list of fun craft things to do (especially with the holidays)but we never do them. Oh well. Very cute things (children included). And of course that is an awesome pumpkin- I am choosing to paint ours this year.

Uh...did you use a stencil or something? 'Cause that is fantastic! And those crafty pumpkins are way cute! How did you do those? Can I just send my girls over? The B's wanted my K to come with them the other day when they went to your house...obviously I should have let her. :)

I know! You can show me when you come VT! It'll be fun.
