Pumpkin Pots

 Here are the boys decorating their pots.  My kids didn't quite get the idea.  

(Excuse the messy house in the background.)

The finished product!  From left to right: Steve's (my hubby), Mine, Carson's, and Landon's.

Even though the boys didn't paint jack-o-lantern faces, they sure had fun painting them.

We bought the pots at Home Depot for 87 cents a piece.  So this is a super cheap craft.  

I first spray painted them orange and let them dry.  Then we just used kid's washable paint to make the faces.

You can put sticks and leaves in the top to look like a stem but living in AZ, we don't have many trees, especially ones that have branches thick enough to fit into the hole in the top without falling through.

Spooky/Thanks Blocks

 For Halloween you have Spooky on one side...

And for Thanksgiving, you have Thanks on the other side.

This is definitely one of my favorite Super Saturday projects.  We made them last year and I was so excited to get them out this year.

Plastic Bag Ghosts

My kids are really getting into Halloween this year and we don't have a lot of Halloween decorations. My 5 year old had the brilliant idea of looking through our recycle bin to find things to make decorations out of. We have tons of plastic grocery bags that we recycle so we decided to make ghosts out of them. Cute, huh?

How to for 1 ghost:
About 7 -10 plastic grocery bags
Black marker
Ribbon
Safety Pin
Yarn

Draw a ghost face on one grocery bag. Ball up the rest of them except for two and put them inside to form the head. Place the leftover two grocery bags in the back of the ghost, open side down, and tie the ribbon around all of the bags to form the neck. Cut all of the plastic bag loops to make it look raggedy. Put the safety pin in the top of the head and tie the yard into that to hang up.
