BOO!!!

BEST.CRAFT.EVER
Is our spooky ghost...
I'm amazed this little guy is floating in air, well not really floating, but completely suspended with out any support. I heart him!
This is totally the best, most fun craft I've ever made. Completing the task is very easy & he's so darn cute. I accompanied him with a couple mini pumpkins & a BOO sign made by, yours truly, with scrap wood, black paint, BOO letters & modge-podge!
Here is the link for instructions to my new friend. You'll find great instruction, I will just add I was very anxious to complete him so I think I could have had more patience & added a couple more layers of spray starch. The sun was going down when I made him so I did use a hairdryer & it worked great. All of the will make sense once you read the link.
I hope all of y'all add a new ghostly friend to your house!
Happy Fall Y'all :)

Punkin-mans

Lily has a name for pumpkins and since Morgan has heard it so often she does, too.
It's "Punkin-mans"
I'm thinking Lily named all pumpkins, Punkin-mans, because during this time of the year most are carved with a "face". But who knows maybe she says Punkin-mans because she can't pronounce pumpkins? Oh, well, I think Punkin-mans is a cute name. So we'll stick with it :)

I had big plans for these Punkin-mans..
But before I could decide which method of decorating- you know there's so many ideas on Pinterest- my girls got out their sparkly paint markers & went to town. They then followed up with a pumpkin decorating kit we found at Wal-Mart, a treat they received by behaving well at the store.
These Punkin-mans won't win any awards, but they're kinda cute in a preschool, graffiti way. :)
