Today I Was a Day Late and a Dollar Short.

I finally hung up the results of a painting activity the girls did almost a month ago.  **sigh** 

Ash Painting

I had cut out pumpkin shapes from cereal boxes and the girls painted them orange. 

Britt Painting

They also painted clothespins green. 

Painting Paper Pumpkins

Some of the cereal boxes had print on the inside and our washable paint didn't cover that. 



My plan was to decoupage cute, orange scrapbook paper over that print. 




I finally decided to just hang up the non-print pumpkins already and throw away the handful of printed ones. 

Painting Clothespins
Should have done that a month ago.




Pumpkins can still work for November decor, right?
P.S.  While I was in the middle of writing this post, some movement on the wall across from me caught my eye.  I looked over to see a three inch long frog climbing the wall.  What the heck?  How does a frog just waltz into the house?  It's cold and wet outside.  I haven't had the door open any longer than it takes to get in and out.  **so confused**  When I first tried catching it it ran under the entertainment center.  When I was finishing up this post, the little stinker tried to sneak right past me.  But it's hard to be stealthy when your only way to move is by hopping.  The frog is now safely back outside.  Hopefully for good.
