Pumpkin Painting and Cookies at Titi's House

Sunday, we spent the day at Mari's house. We devoted it to Halloween traditions. We planned on pumpkin painting with the kids.
Jayden tried his hand at painting, but he wasn't patient enough for the stencilling process. So, I gave him a paper plate and he was good to go. Except for the part, where he painted Titi's seat cushions, he did a great job!

Here's my crazy pumpkin. Jayden picked the colors. At this point, we lost control of the situation and the kids were out of control so we put them to nap and finished up the project ourselves. It ws alot of fun!
Mari was into her pumpkin and she spent a lot of time researching and planning out her design. It was very funny.
Here's the Frankenstein stencil she created. It's starting to take shape!
Ta-dah!
Meanwhile, mine is slowly transforming.
Next, we're on to cookies! We took care of rolling out dough and cutting themout and teh kids decorated! They were so into it. I felt sad that I had waited so long to do cookies with Jayden since the last time.

Maya is a silent contributor!
Jayden has decided this is going to be his happy face from now on. I hope he outgrows this stage!
Here are two happy boys!
The finished product...
Awww. And they tasted just as good as they looked!
Oh, here's how my crazy pumpkin turned out...
