Let's Get Messy!

We have many traditions that we do during the fall months....I've already posted about AppleWorks, so you've seen the pictures of that!  We've been to ZooBoo (pics to be posted at the costume reveal post!), and here are a few others!  We've added a NEW tradition....making applesauce from the apples we get from AppleWorks!  The kids loved helping me cut the apples and then tasting the applesauce that night!  YUM YUM YUM!  And, I must say, the house smelt A-MAZING!
 I worked on peeling and cutting the apples while the kids diced them in smaller pieces, using a plastic knife, of course!!
 I had a hard time keeping Max's little hands out of his mouth with the apples.  All that boy wanted to do was eat them!
 The next fun fall activity was pumpkin painting!  We were lucky enough to have an 80 degree day last week, so we took advantage of the pretty weather and headed outside for painting!  It made clean up much easier!!
 They painted....
 and concentrated....
 and were just plain silly!
 But they enjoyed getting it all over themselves.  And Mom didn't mind either!  

A little paint doesn't hurt ya!


The last fall activity we've done is carving pumpkins with Lauren, Luke, and Mamaw Dee


 The kids got to wear their costumes down to the lake to show Mamaw Dee, Papaw Joe, Lauren, and Luke their costumes....everyone loved seeing them dressed up.  Laney only had her costume off during these pictures.  The rest of the time, she wore it!  She loves it!

 The pumpkin carving was fun, but of course it was time consuming


 but totally worth it!


 Luke liked being silly with the pumpkin "guts"  Max wasn't too sure about it!



We had a Buzz Lightyear pumpkin and an Alien pumpkin (both from Toy Story)
NEXT UP.....TRICK OR TREAT!!!
