Halloween fun

Cameron and I have been having lots of fun celebrating Halloween. Here are just a FEW of the things we have done this month...
We made a Mummy Buddy using craft sticks and felt

Surprised Daddy with carrot cake cupcakes all dressed up!

Had several versions of a Lightsaber Lunch like this one


Made hand print ghosts


These are the beans Cameron has been playing with


We also read a ton of Halloween books from our Halloween box.
These are some of our favorites this year...


I also printed out some fun games like this movement one
Anyway tons of fun at our house, so happy and grateful I can be home with the kiddos and do fun activities like these all of the time!

The Pumpkin Patch

Cameron's awesome preschool teacher took the class on a field trip to the local farm and pumpkin patch. I went for a trip out of the house. We went through a corn maze and Cameron was more interested in the corn, then the maze.




Then in the pumpkin patch, all he wanted at first was to play with the lady bugs


Now he is excited about the pumpkins!



Here is the whole class!


All our pumpkins (I got such a kick out of the grayish green one, I had to buy it!)

No preschool today (fall break) so we made homemade play dough tinted orange and scented with pumpkin pie spices. Then we played with our new fall play dough mats. We also played with some black beans in a bucket with measuring cups and spoons...
Later today we did a photo shoot of our Halloween costumes and they turned out great, but they were with my bigger camera, so I have to figure out how to get the pictures on this laptop.
