A Little Family Fun



Last night was a perfect end to a perfect day. After going to the pumpkin patch and then having dinner on the outside patio, the family decided to make "pumpkin bats." Aidan was so excited and I've got to admit, I really didn't think that Ted was going to be all that pumped about doing something "crafty." If any of you know Ted, it is power tools or nothing!

So, I gave him a can of black spray paint to appeal to his "Tim The Tool Man" side...



Next, we proceeded to cut out the wings and glue them on with a hot glue gun, which Aidan was pretty adamant about no one touching because it is "TOO HOT!" After gluing on the bat's wings and the bat's eyes...





I was able to catch the photo of Aidan's excitement and amazement of his mommy and daddy's pumpkin bat creation...



Ahhh...the end to a perfect day...Nothin' like good ol' fashion family fun!
