I think Halloween might be my second most favorite holiday. Next to Christmas, Halloween is the next holiday I have the most decorative stuff for. I usually put it up the first week of September and am sad when I have to take it down in November. When Erin posted these, I was itching to try them out myself!
Of course I proceeded with the project without thoroughly reading the instructions first and used acrylic paint instead of spray paint, which took forever. I had to give each rock about 4-5 coats of paint. Spray paint would have been WAY easier. Oh well. I was able to use two shades of orange this way!
I had thoroughly intended on having Janelle help me with this project, but I got started on it after bedtime. I got them all painted and then was going to set aside a few for her to color faces on. However, I got so into my little project I forgot to set some aside for her until I only had three left. Oops!
Fortunately she didn't mind too much. She even shared one of them with Spencer for him to color. What a sweet big sister!
I think they turned out cute!

These pumpkins are adorable!! I love Halloween too. I use to put a lot of stuff up...corn stalks, grave markers on the lawn, witches flying around the house, cobwebs and of course pumpkins all over. I was lucky to get through Halloween without 5" of snow or a snow storm while the kids were trick or treating. No little ones to enjoy it now but I still do a lot of pumpkins.
