Halloween is when you get to have a great time of year doing all the things you're not supposed to do. Like dressing up and acting crazy,Try Pumpkin Painting Faces This Halloween - Its a Fun and Easy Project For the Entire Family Articles to eating tons of candy and junk food, even though you know you're going to pay for it later. Ah, well, you know what they say, "A moment on the lips......... I guess we'll worry about the diet tomorrow. After all, it's Halloween!

There are lots of other things to like about Halloween, too.

Take Pumpkin Painting Faces for example. It's a fun activity for kids of any age, adults included. And from the moment you decide on your costume the fun never stops. I have just as much fun in the planning of things as I do in the events themselves.

If you're having a Halloween party you definitely have your work cut out for you. You want it to be a huge success. From the ghoulishly chosen menu to the sweet surprises, it's a whole lot of work. But then again, work was never this much fun!

Decorating can be the most fun of all. You can choose to go with horrifically scary ideas or select a charming and whimsically funny theme. And pumpkins pull the whole thing together.

I love to look at all the houses that have been decked out for Halloween, especially those with carved and hand painted pumpkins. The carved pumpkins, though, don't last very long at all. Why go to all the trouble and expense of picking out and then carving those perfectly shaped orange beauties, only to have them shrivel and dry out before the season is even over? Why not try your hand at pumpkin painting?

It's really not that expensive to try and the wonderful time you can have with your kids makes it worth every penny. You can't find a better family project than this one. And your kids can show off their handiwork to the entire neighborhood. When the trick-or-treaters come to your house they'll get a big kick out of all the colorful faces.

You can decorate pumpkins in many sizes and place them throughout your home as part of your party theme. Your guests will be sure to comment on your decorative talents. Don't be surprised, though, if they don't ask you to take one home as part of their trick-or-treat surprise.
