pumpkin jars - part 1

the kids have been asking to make these jack-o-lantern jars we made two years ago.  so for the past few months i have been saving jars and today we got to work while manning was napping.

it didn't take long before maddux got paint on his shirt sleeve...
mason lost his sweater mere moments after this picture. 
madelyn is telling me that her hand is stuck.
notice the large orange streak on madelyn's chin. 
there will be a "part 2" post to show the finished and candle lit jars on the front porch to come...

while the jars were drying, the kids spent some time coloring in their new coloring books from papa and nana (thank you!).

madelyn working on illustrations for her daily journal entries.
just a lovely way to spend a sunday afternoon.  love.
