Make Jack O’Lantern from Baby Food Jars!

Go here to see the exact instructions!

Do you have a baby at your house? If you do, then you probably have baby food jars. Wash them out and use them for this super-cute Halloween craft. (If there is no baby at your house, ask to borrow some jars from a friend, sister, etc. These little pumpkin jars are worth the extra effort!)

Directions:

Step 1: Make sure your jar is clean and dry.
Step 2: Mix orange acrylic paint with some mod podge and paint the jar inside and out.
Step 3: Once it’s dry, use black paint to create a face for our “pumpkin”. Remember, you want it to look like a little jack o’lantern
Step 4: Place a candle inside the jar and let it shine.
Optional: You can tie raffia around the neck of the jar if you’d like.

Halloween

The night where all of the scary things comes out and all of the wonderful costumes, friends and memories. Ian wasn't too sure about a couple of the witches we met but after watching the older kids do the routine with "Trick or Treat" and people's doors about 3 times - he was ready to go! Running and please and "tank-cu's" and "buh-byes" were so cute. He'd watch the candy go in his bucket or he would put it in himself and then say thank you or buh-bye and carefully step off of the porches and run down the drive-ways to the other kids or to mommy.



Ian was a Jail-Bird this year although if you look closely he was "rejected too cute". It was the costume that fit him in his closet :) and I think it worked out pretty well. He was warm and did just fine. Here are some of the best pictures from tonight.

This is the action picture of the night - running down the driveway, ready for the next stop!
