Pumpkin Carving: I Wish I Could Do That

October 31, 2011 by Erin

If I had a ton of free time and wasn’t working and raising two kids on my own, I would take a pumpkin carving class. Do they have those??? Well, they should. Because if they did I would take them and do amazing things like these.


Spider Man

This one’s great!


Gizmo

Totally cool eye

Jack

This is absolutely amazing!

Smile Face

Bulldog

Apple


WOW!

Super cool, right? We will be sticking with the basic triangle eyes, nose and a mouth. =o)

Happy Halloween!

It’s absolutely amazing what people can do with a plain old pumpkin! Love the zipper faced one. Can’t wait to see our little goblins all dressed up to trick or treat.

Some of those are really cool! This year my daughter carved a Kabuki face and I carved a silly face.

Both came from this site: http://www.paperpumpkins.com/

Oh my gosh, those are ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC!! Sure wish I had just a fraction of that talent. With grown kids now I just line the yard with small pumpkins….no more carving here. 🙁

What an amazing line-up of pumpkin carving skills!

Puppy Love

I think I should just rename my blog “All the ideas I steal from Family Fun”. Seriously. Because whenever we get the magazine we all look through it and say “Oh, we have to make that!” about a million times. This was no exception. We had to make this, of course. I mean really… hot […]

Magic Banana Trick

Magic banana? Yep, magic banana. Well, magic banana trick maybe. I guess the banana itself isn’t magic. Or maybe it is. Either way, your kids will think you are magic! Are you ready??? Your going to give your kids bananas and say “abracadabra” and then poof – their banana will be already sliced inside the […]

Mummy Pretzels

Our last Halloween post for the season (sniff, sniff) is a simple but fun one – Mummy Pretzels! Cute, right?!?! We found two different versions on the internet, here and here – both adorable. The girls loved making them. I’m pretty sure they ate about 20 eyes a piece before I realized where they all went. […]

Mummy Twinkie Pops

What do you think of Twinkies? I think people either love them or hate them. I love them. I’m not sure why. If I think about it too long I start to question my love of spongy yellow cake and frosting. So I don’t think about it for too long =o) For awhile, years ago, […]

Alien Invasion… For Dinner???

The aliens are coming! The aliens are coming! I told you that I was going to make dinner time more fun and exciting. How fun is this idea?!?! My kids loved it! This idea came from the cookbook Just For Kids Collection. (If you missed my Octo-Dog post you MUST check it out here!) Here’s […]

Twinkie Nerf Darts

My son wanted a Nerf birthday party. Do you know how hard it is to find Nerf party things out there??? It’s darn near impossible. Tiffanee over at One Crazy Cookie made our Nerf Birthday Party Invitations which were a giant hit! I don’t know how she does it but she is a computer […]

Unicorn Poop Cookies

I know. Don’t judge me. You’re thinking “that’s totally gross!” But admit it… you’re next thought is “but totally cool!” Right? Come on, admit it. These cookies are totally gross and totally cool at the same time. That’s why we had to make them. A friend on Facebook posted this link on my wall […]

Turkey Treats for Thanksgiving

Normally by now I’ve posted a few Thanksgiving fun food recipes. Apparently I’m a little slow this year. I can’t believe this is our first (and only one!) But it is a fun one. How cute are these little guys? I thought my kids would have a great time making these. I bought all the […]
