Kids and Crafting Fun

So when we don't have joy school, we have been having a blast doing fun things around here.  I love everything about the fall.  In addition to the beautiful weather, there seem to be so many cute activities to do with the kids.  Here is a small sampling of the different things we have made this fall season! Oh, and none of these ideas are really original.  Got them all from pinterest, so you can find them there. :)

Ok, the lobsters were kind of late summer.  But they were still cute hand and footprints.
We made pumpkin face bags and had a blast knocking them down.
James is a big helper!
Super easy fall tree.  Made out of a paper lunch sack!
We went apple picking with Anne and Sarah and Micah.  And I didn't take any pictures of the picking.  Luckily Anne took this one of Alan at the farm stand.
The apples were delicious!  We managed to make some applesauce, apple crisp, and eat the rest!
Alan really wanted cookie dough cheesecake from the Cheesecake Factory.  And it was mighty pricey.  So I told him I'd make a whole cookie dough cake for him at home.  This was the result.  And it was good.
Ghostes (pronounced as 2 syllables).  Alan has been super excited to do this.  Can you tell which two he made?  They have Christmas lights in them and glow at night.  Super easy and fun for trick or treaters!
In other news, these girls are moving to Texas.  And we will miss them tons!

    These are so much fun!! Even though the craft ideas may not be original, it still takes a lot of talent to make them come out so cute. I love the picture of Alan in the guillotine. Thank you so much for taking these pictures and sharing such wonderful activities.

    Not sure, but I think they're stocks (had to look it up), rather than a guillotine :-)

    I'm lucky to have a family that knows how to have so much fun!

    Right after I wrote the guillotine thing, I realized I had the wrong torture device. I was going to correct it and then got sidetracked. Just glad to know Alan is already dabbling in stocks!!

    Yikes, glad he wasn't playing in a guillotine! :) That cheesecake looks HEAVENLY. You made that?! It's super beautiful. I was sure you were going to say that you'd bought it at the store, it looks so professional! Such cute crafts--way to be on top of things!
