Halloween/Fall Craft Idea for that Not-So-Into Crafts Kid

SerVlad has a short attention span when it comes to arts and crafts.  So Mama had to get creative!
Almost every boy would like to squirt paint on something-right?  This craft did just the trick.

I prepped the pumpkins and work area in advance and had the paints ready.
 
All SerVlad had to do was stop hunting lizards for a few minutes to get this one done. 

 
He chose the two smaller pumpkins and his paint colors. 



BAM!  Squirt, squirt, a tussle of his hair and he was done-great job!!


 
 I let the paint dry and cleaned up the mess and added the pumpkins to our fall décor on the front porch.  They were a nice addition!



Hey Nana-he has his fur!






HAPPY FALL Y'ALL!

Doing the Fall Thing

We had a family day and took SerVlad to D & D Farms in Palm City.  They advertised 'U-Pick' pumpkins, a corn maze and hay rides.  When we got there they told us the corn maze wouldn't be ready until Christmas.  Um...okay...corn mazes and Christmas really goes together anyway...not.
 
This picture was taken at the entrance to their produce store.  Sure made a great fall picture and my little pumpkin looks adorable!

Bonus!  They had a petting zoo area.  Goats, Chickens, Pigs, Donkeys, Cows! 


 
On to the Hay Ride!  The ride went all through the farms planting area and along an area that was set up for Zombie hay rides.  Guess which area Sergio liked?  Well it wasn't looking at the eggplant growing-he made that clear. 

I am a lucky Momma and Wife!

 
What's this?  The pumpkins?  We would be back to that area soon! 


 
So it turns out that it's possible that pumpkins don't grow in South Florida.  The pumpkins were brought in from wherever and placed in the fields.  At first I was a little put off, but in retrospect,
it's a nice thing to get the effect of a pumpkin patch for South Floridians.  
 
And how precious are these photos! 


 
 




Another visit to the animals before we left.  Then a stop in the store for gourds and some grape jelly.
