Truth be known, I am from a very superstitious culture, and so in an effort not to anger my forefathers, I only snuck in a few witches' hats in the decor. We had so a wickedly sweet time nonetheless. Are you ready for diy overload. I might have gone a bit overboard...<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjdMq6V_6Gkk8klYisxog23LUJKQ9f2HVWV6w_uFvzOkhRFpe6r8Z1G6pBfZBN5rC6aBif3MmE4J5Ugb2Yja9kbM3QzbanIXYgGJSYezBFwkHVwwLPQ-NWOa_0imvGpp7ASsoczb3y55mHz/s1600-h/009_blake.halloween%25255B7%25255D.jpg"><img alt="009_blake.halloween" border="0" height="468" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjOIj1RivT1AxSQPaS8CiCmhU7xJxi_RogGciY063I9eog-cU-jE3TgFfyadpXjHUuT40jDqfq2y1hUDduhS0wL8OMe75sYkAgHRjN_-yLlEaajTroZT6vg1vNa1zF2BJyfzWehHhQegizF/?imgmax=800" style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" title="009_blake.halloween" width="700" /></a><br /><br /><div class="p1"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Getting Creative with Your Pumpkins</b></span></div><div class="p1">I am not much of a carver, so I tend to get creative with my pumpkins in other ways:</div><div class="p1">Put some spray paint on it.

I love using pom poms! They add such fun and colorful whimsy to everything. Tiny pom poms were adhered to one of the pumpkins using a glue gun. Pumpkin was spray painted a brighter white first so the colorful pom poms would pop.</div><div class="p2"><br /></div><div class="p1">Put some chalkboard paint on it. I spray painted a few pumpkins with chalkboard paint which provided a lovely surface to draw those spooky characters.</div><div class="p2"><br /></div><div class="p1"><b>Dip dye it</b>. I had neon food coloring left over from Easter, so I used the pink color to create a dip dye effect on a couple of the white pumpkins. Pumpkins were spray painted a brighter white first, left to dry then dipped in neon pink food coloring. The stems were spray painted gold to tie in with the other golden pumpkins.</div><div class="p2"><br /></div><div class="p1"><b>Dress it Up.</b> A pair of craft glasses and a carrot attached as a nose is a fun way to get your pumpkin all dressed up for the party!</div><div class="p1"><br /></div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjeq8yW3e_VPGsoaT6CSEySi445ZkHMeYQ8hFiM6Bv4EOVYXm_Cg8zxvMgsfoX8UdCbw09Noln-sHYYvlrs_hFTikGM622zhMkOZ0meEh_RkRNkxfJ2A1Twrc8Kb8W-y2rIWy2jHOyvsp8f/s1600-h/008_blake.halloween%25255B7%25255D.jpg"><img alt="008_blake.halloween" border="0" height="904" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEilh45aRtsboD9bzLfmkCsUHvpZO5egjAW_kiJwGU2NjNxeLVBM7XaCYZSHZu5di98mdZHVXBGdbnOlVIsD9IXkhG_THkqXxskShyphenhyphenEbP2vUjOAfWbcvn6RxcPnF2lM4U36XEfojCqdcnMoO/?imgmax=800" style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" title="008_blake.halloween" width="604" /></a><br />The hubby was nice enough to draw a fun Halloween inspired mural on our chalkboard wall; the perfect back drop for the party.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2LVzEqI3q-kaMHFHFs0T9vDKSfppsMHnTYyAJ2SIs94vtqkX_aOLEX4OyqrgOvB_HD_S_Sut0tkZ4MnwpB36tGspEGK5xz3wPAjpE5ijJ0Cn37ghkUzuIoSaNiLd8RZ8D0KAFKtbd/s1600/013_blake.halloween.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2LVzEqI3q-kaMHFHFs0T9vDKSfppsMHnTYyAJ2SIs94vtqkX_aOLEX4OyqrgOvB_HD_S_Sut0tkZ4MnwpB36tGspEGK5xz3wPAjpE5ijJ0Cn37ghkUzuIoSaNiLd8RZ8D0KAFKtbd/s1600/013_blake.halloween.jpg" /></a></div><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTNxdmNIkprHmMD0tI6ZESFfjfMv2Usrd04lS8w-hRVWCgpIbZ1yMeLybVVdggoDvJsgnegd9TSvEnMlNeUXiHhSWoien-mE6_-5RhLAO0NcCBjb84i8lbVZDC-VwGIpHcRXO25K_2nLCN/s1600-h/010_blake.halloween%25255B13%25255D.jpg"><img alt="010_blake.halloween" border="0" height="464" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgCs88IgmuJG8thShZrr8r33TtQxDNg_qT9Cht6NdaJs1KLnxUO81JtDjA8JNqf81_EZzodIl28lyQFkZ6k-PD0sdDi4BdTAIVS6HnVJK-5TIzwgNGLMqBHF7DMySmy0yeDuYsRoReFF_Pd/?imgmax=800" style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" title="010_blake.halloween" width="694" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhEKJLjBy5pq8PzZCyyNfAzA84iqdZkic2IYP5S1VyD9MTig_N9NPVUPRxyRbzHO2EhPv523E8VXBx_XhsCA5w25Kp2ODpe37tfhlFhcv9mtWmP9tGSHOdXf-eE7Mi1ryiCcpmsjc7Xbtbf/s1600-h/012_blake.halloween%25255B7%25255D.jpg"><img alt="012_blake.halloween" border="0" height="904" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhkNgH-t14jLNXvDIkvXQNfPZHpIyZSH6-pw-0AWjIY0LepNYw9ZdqLZhF8TAcgHq_NRgDYaQU8SqccitfiM0Wi49gAeBHuYYadXyUkRJ9jRlaqDGFSChWN3YQmBbaNu2oQANzzwI9OOYq7/?imgmax=800" style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" title="012_blake.halloween" width="604" /></a><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;">these clementines turned pumpkins were a hit</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiKRcIv5CUdRDe6O3L77vtnmvCHfQeRjXHwTeFAPncoNlTJ4qFsL1Q8BvCFQJZc9UlbEiX_bevTgh3YdY1YpUxhOk5jge_gOkrvi3LBhJa0fSGdrctENhcTrDvE0ZKksX49oxXrbBc8LJgB/s1600-h/002_blake.halloween%25255B7%25255D.jpg"><img alt="002_blake.halloween" border="0" height="904" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNnZygk7HjH6VTjWF4KPOColisoiUsqBm3jxAsPAOakRwVhx7F_3N1-KatMP0X-VrrI2assLmDkFdEY3U0-z1-0aqdys7TZX7UM-dvZxPVDlb9nTlBciacRVuLlTHdEQ1i4jG12h65S3bK/?imgmax=800" style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" title="002_blake.halloween" width="604" /></a><br /><span style="font-size: large;"><b> The Candy Bar</b></span><br />         <div class="p1">Little fingers were just itching to get into those jars of delectable goodness!

Our Not too Spooky Halloween Party.

There were no witches and skeletons at this party! Truth be known, I am from a very superstitious culture, and so in an effort not to anger ...

I however always have candy out for the children who trick or treat, but we never do all that spooky stuff with decorations, etc. Well, this year will be different. You see Zion has added the word spooky to his repertoire(thanks to school) and being the teacher Mom that I am, I feel compelled to reinforce the word spooky at home. I had the pumpkins and went on the hunt for things around the house that I could use for this operation “spookify” some pumpkins!  That poor teething toy was the first thing I saw and well, let’s just say that it lost its eyes and mouth.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjGJuiGxVZSVQsAXheFd8Qbk9nNCW6IXarw-KIDshMEdQZq622vlQxAAOLRcynlTgSVMizG0LZAjQE08bldEOh96uqSC3PZBnFdx-312WL2IqiQyacjOeGOI0vRjM9terwDulLQB4VnZmdF/s1600-h/Photo%252520Oct%25252025%25252C%2525205%25252056%25252004%252520PM%25255B4%25255D.jpg" rel="nofollow"><img alt="Photo Oct 25, 5 56 04 PM" border="0" height="526" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRaaQkC7ESsQJcS7Zt3OPWdDTKV2lqx4hWWdS8ejjEnOBnb6NRIRp-jYVEKDS59jg0vi71HDKZPCxplR7xJ-VQbQC2HX9tzBd23IEnrHxuJ_9LL2Ic3Bijd18CD3vxuF_G3FxsX52xgpvg/?imgmax=800" style="background-image: none; border-color: -moz-use-text-color; border-style: none; border-width: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" title="Photo Oct 25, 5 56 04 PM" width="700" /></a><br /><div align="center">I created more spooky pumpkins using the materials above that I found in different areas of our home.</div><div align="center"><br /></div><div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg8Ytkn0qsBK3t-M0owrf6aKrKKvMKbsPQuawFQetYfH60fZo7K86YwNbJKs1K7YbCGM73T8FVBy4rYf0qrSvz8HdD0hZs-H8J0cCDg5n2Yu9u_r-sMhhtgoiy1phTOXpwefQSgDJIz6GPC/s1600-h/Photo%252520Oct%25252025%25252C%2525205%25252001%25252021%252520PM%25255B4%25255D.jpg" rel="nofollow"><img alt="DIY Pumpkins" border="0" height="526" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgMAvU0jihpArmWXnlTL9xzcUQP3REEZM19bRBSMNKiVBJV9OnHjSymakQbvroRtqSBQVGB72vir9XdlwdvgljWuG33aajG3Fv_QhCZYYnKVjdYjbO641BtjpXeRUr8S9Uiy6Gu41QO7rWr/?imgmax=800" style="background-image: none; border-color: -moz-use-text-color; border-style: none; border-width: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" title="Photo Oct 25, 5 01 21 PM" width="700" /></a></div>And there they are! I cut pieces from a styrofoam cup to create the eyes and mouth for the 2nd pumpkin. A velcro piece was used for the nose. I used sharpie for the third pumpkin. For the first pumpkin, I borrowed the eyes from an art work of Zion’s. The hair, nose and mouth were made from black construction paper. Of course, you already know that I mutilated a teething toy for the fourth one. Bad mama!<img alt="Smile" class="wlEmoticon wlEmoticon-smile" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/--sFUG5hIOAE/Umrx8Qd4vVI/AAAAAAAAIPE/-LQ3mNubfE4/wlEmoticon-smile%25255B2%25255D.png?imgmax=800" style="border-bottom-style: none; border-left-style: none; border-right-style: none; border-top-style: none;" />.
