PUMPKINS

I am finally starting to see pumpkins pop up here and there at the store. I wanted to wait to get some until we could have a pumpkin picking day at a pumpkin patch {with a hot pumpkin spice latte in hand of course} 




But since the pumpkin patches don't open until the first weekend in October, I just bought a few at Walmart to curb my craving for decorating my porch! This is what I have done with my porch so far, it is no where near done. I want to do a few glitter pumpkins and a chalkboard pumpkin too.

{isn't he the cutest decoration you've ever seen?!}  

Lanterns from Target sold out, similar here.
The other lantern is on the other side of my door where I will add more pumpkins.  {Pics to come} My husband painted the pumpkins which was pretty easy. He just used painters tape to make the stripes then spray painted them.





I tried to do a chevron pumpkin using painters tape like I saw on Pinterest....FAIL! It would not line up even and I just ended up cursing at that stupid pumpkin. So I'm going to try to hand paint the chevron on.

The pumpkins looked great until wreck it Ryder got to them and chucked the poor things off the porch and watched them roll down the driveway. Thanks bud!



Here are some pics of my Fall/Halloween decor inspiration that I have found on Pinterest.



Lanterns are my new favorite thing!


This weekend is the official start of Fall so maybe I won't get as many weird looks from the neighbors as I decorate my pumpkins dressed in Halloween Jammie's.


Have you guys started decorating yet??

  1. I love that first photo of him sitting in his orange stripes! So cute! I love the idea of painting pumpkins...it seems like a lot less work than carving them. This post has got me in a pumpkin mood!
