Festive crafting

There have been a lot of fellow blog mommies taking on the pumpkin painting idea this year, so we decided that with a mild fever and 2 straight days of rain- It was the best time to try it out!

Although Connor (and most boys, I would assume..) is not much of a 'crafter',
he had fun slopping the paint on his baby pumpkins. It takes a lot out of this OCD Mom to not help, but I am learning to let go. I threw out several encouraging words along with a few "you sure you don't want to paint more than just the top of the pumpkin?!" and "you want to try fun polka dots or stripes instead of smearing the paint until it all turns black?!"... ;)
All the prep and the craft lasted a good 3 minutes, but we had a good time so thats all that matters!



Checking out the finished products while they dry. He was pretty proud!

I had the special treat of getting off work a little early today, so I rushed home to see all the fun crafting Connor did with his Nana while I was away. They did some drawing, painting, and cut & pasting. Here's one of his projects~

(Nana did the cutting while Connor did the glue-sticking)

We hope to carve the pumpkins on Monday.
Let the Halloween festivities continue!
