Michael Phelps"kin"

Emma's school always hosts a pumpkin contest. Emma wanted to do something with her pumpkin to honor the Summer Olympics, so Chris and Emma decided to create a Michael Phelps"kin".

Baglady Emma


Step 1 (spray paint the pumpkin white)


Step 2 (spray paint the pumpkin blue)


Step 3 (with Daddy's help, use star stencils to paint stars on the pumpkin)



Step 4 (frantically look for swim goggles, a swim cap, Olympic medals and Mr. Potato Head pieces to decorate the pumpkin)




I'd love to find a way to send Michael Phelps a picture of his honorary pumpkin. Great job, Emma and Daddy!

Okay, I now know to whom I will beg for ideas whenever there's a project due....seriously, the creativity running through the Kenward household just amazes me.
Michael Phelps must get a picture! Emma will surely win the contest hands-down!

Very cute! My daughter is a major Phelps Phan! We got a stencil for her pumpkin to make his face--it looks really difficult, so I don't know if she can pull it off.

I loved yours!
