Making glitter pumpkins has become almost a yearly tradition in our family, ever since I came across the idea six years ago. It's a really simple craft, but one that we always enjoy making. It adds sparkle and fun to our Fall decor! I have learned though, that this is one project best done outside!
I wasn't sure if James would actually make one himself, but he got right in there and picked up a brush and started painting the glue onto his pumpkin! I was quite impressed. He actually really enjoys crafts! He really didn't make that big of a mess either...
Little Bear always takes his projects very seriously. He likes to make sure to do a thorough job! I love watching him carefully paying attention to detail...it's such a contrast from his often rough and tumble ways.
Sometimes you just have to get a little glue on your hands and a little glitter in your hair, but it sure makes life enjoyable!
Mama made one, too!
Our finished pumpkins, ready for the dining table centerpiece!
We also decorated our pumpkins for the outdoor display. The three large pumpkins say "Count Your Blessings", and each child has a small pie pumpkin with their name on it.
Love in Christ,

About Me
My Family
The inspiration behind everything that I do, my family is so precious to me!

Our Leader, Protecter, and Provider, my wonderful husband is the most amazing man I have ever met. He is a loving example to our boys of just what a husband should be.
Melly Elizabeth
Wife, Mommy and Homemaker...these are the labels that describe what I do. I couldn't imagine wanting to be anything other than these things. I love being here in my home, taking care of my family and creating a warm and comfortable place for my husband to come home to each day.
Jacob
Intellegent, charming, and witty, Jacob keeps life interesting around our house. Always full of questions and insight, he is never short of words! He relishes his role as "oldest brother" and loves to be my helper.
Joshua
The "Bear". Energetic, rambunctious, and full of all things "boy", Joshua is our little wild bear! He is also one of the sweetest people that I have ever met. Full of hugs and kisses, it is amazing to see the contrast between his rough and tumble ways and his gentle kindness.
Joseph
Joseph is such a joy! His smile lights up the room, and his playful expressions can't help but be endearing. He finds humor in nearly everything. He looks up to his older brothers and tries to keep up with them at every turn.
James
James is my adorable, precious, rambunctious little one! Always eager to be a helper, highly affectionate, and a perfectionist like his Mama, he's the sunshine of my day!
John David
Our newest little addition, John David is such a blessing! He already looks up to his brothers, and seems to be in a hurry to join in their fun. We love him so much, and thank God for sending this darling child into our lives!
