Lions and Tigers and . . . Elephants

Have you ever seen a gourd at the market and thought...that's an elephant?

Well, I see things and think that's an easy elephant.

All I had to do was paint it and then glue on some wiggly eyes.

And then I took some construction paper and cut out the ears.

And then I glued them...

And then I had to find a pumpkin for the body of my elephant

And then I stuck the head on the body with some bamboo skewers

I thought I'd share a few of the pumpkins Shauna Puckett painted for the holiday

Here Comes Halloween

Frankenstein stops to say "Hi"

Ghosts appear passing by

Witches fly through the sky

Now it's time to say good-bye

Remember to wash your pumpkin seeds and spread them on a cookie sheet with a little olive oil and salt - bake at 450 for about a half hour and you'll have instant munchies. Hope you have a Happy Halloween.
