P is for Pumpkin!

Last week Lydia REALLY REALLY got into "P is for Pumpkin". So we did tons and tons of pumpkin projects and activities.

Making pumpkin shaped cookies

Painting a Pumpkin (the highlight of the week and Lydia has talked about this project ALL day every day!) 

We made a scarecrow for the front door. Lydia was SO excited about the life cycle of a pumpkin project that we have that hanging on our front door too. I am sure the neighbors think we are insane! 

Lydia has hugged, loved, and held this very loved pumpkin all week!
