pumpkin fun

craft weekend at the gilmore house! we started friday night by making some halloween treats. a tradition of ours is always to dip pretzels in white almond bark and sprinkle. it's easy and the kids love to eat them, too. bright and early saturday morning we painted our brick pumpkins. this was a new craft i wanted to try. the girls thought painting was pretty cool. (considering mom doesn't let them do it very often :) those pumpkins were finished up on sunday. finally, sunday night the whole family was able to enjoy carving our two big pumpkins. we had to have one funny face (goofy gus, mom did it) and one scary face (scary sam, dad did it). hmmm, dad had a couple of issues, but over all they turned out great!
