H is for Halloween

Last week was busy with lots of Halloween activities.

Pumpkin Drip Painting
You need a whole lot of craft paint and some pumpkins!

And let the dripping of paint begin.......I just let them go at it!





Definitely a messy project!  Some children used a lot of paint and some a little, make sure you have something down for all the paint cause it will be everywhere!








Don't they look AMAZING??!!!!  A fun alternative to carving, especially for the little ones.



All dressed up and ready for Halloween party at the Library.

It's Halloween!!!

What a bunch of good looking kiddos!!!!  Love them!!!
They have been so excited for our Halloween Party!
 
Doesn't Baby A look adorable in her little witch outfit?!!!?
 

Styrofoam Cup Spiders
We decided to make colorful spiders......each child was given a cup and their choice of paint.






Once they were dry, they added a face, sticker polka dots and pipe cleaner legs.






Halloween Games
I made a spider web in our hallway using crepe paper.  The goal was to make it through the web without it breaking.














Hot pumpkin.....like hot potato, but with a pumpkin.


 
Food, Food and more Food!!!
These are giant pumpkin marshmallows.....we dipped in chocolate and then the children decorated with chocolate chips to look like jack-o-lanterns.  I spread some peanut butter on some before dipping them as well.....yum!

Our spooky lunch!

Banana ghost and pretzel bones for snack
 


It was a very fun and busy week!



And just for fun.....our minion that Maddox and I worked on together!  He painted the pumpkin yellow and I put the rest of the details on.....he's very proud of it!


Ok, last picture......my 3 children dressed up for Halloween.....a hippie, hunting dog (Maddox was very specific that he was not just a dog, but a hunting dog), and a hunter!

We had to hit the slide first!  Definitely their favorite thing to do.

The girls found a kitty!










So many fun things to play on!!



Baby A decided a bottle and nap sounded good about now!
















Barrel Ride!





Hay rack ride!

So lucky Laura came with us to help.....we love Ms. Lola!!!!



Snack time.....we brought some pumpkin chocolate chip cookies we made.  Yum!!!

 
We already had our big pumpkins, so they all picked some small pumpkins and gourds.


We had a wonderful time and it was a perfect fall day to spend at the pumpkin patch!
