This summer (like every summer), we had big plans for growing our own pumpkins in our backyard vegetable garden. Mother Nature and Mr. Groundhog had other ideas and we were left with only two pumpkins.
Although Chris is the master pumpkin carver, I'm the glue gun painter pumpkin designer when it comes to Josie's school pumpkin contest.
This year, she decided she wanted to create an Owl for her school's pumpkin contest.
We used lots of straight pins to hold our felt feathers into place.
Mr. Owl is now happy to be visiting Josie's school library. Happy "almost" Halloween!
How cute! Love the owl. My daughter was an owl last year for Halloween and I remember cutting out all those feathers! Did Josie help? She looks so proud and she should be, it's adorable. Love the picture of all your lit pumpkins in your header. Awesome!! Have a very Happy Halloween!!
ReplyDeleteThe owl pumpkin turned out great! And congrats on getting two pumpkins from your plantings, I know how that can be... Happy Halloween Kim-have fun:@)

I am so loving owls this year...and last...and the year before. They are so cute and wise. Your daughter's pumpkin owl is a winner to be sure.
ReplyDeleteJosie looks so happy and sweet! And everyone loves Mr. Owl! He's frighteningly fierce! Have fun! Hugs, Diane
ReplyDeleteAwww that is so cute! Leave it to you to come up with something admirable! Maggie
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, how adorable you two! Great job!
ReplyDeleteLove the first photo - Josie is so cute with her pumpkin!
ReplyDeleteIt's so cute! Great job on the owl. Our pumpkins grew in the compost pile which is one foot from the groundhog den. They had a field day chewing on every single large pumpkin we had :(
ReplyDeleteHappy Almost Halloween to you!
ReplyDeleteIt's been a LONG, LONG, time since I've done any blog visiting. Life is crazy, busy these days.
I know you are enjoying this month of October getting ready for Halloween!
Great job Josie and you did! How fun they are displayed in the library too.
ReplyDeleteI bet you are still recuperating from your party. Happy Halloween!
