Pinecones

So on pinterest i've seen some great craft ideas to do with pinecones.  Today I took the boys out to hunt for some and they filled an icecream bucket full!  They were so excited to search for pinecones, it was like and easter egg hunt to them lol!

After we got home I rinsed the pinecones off, then baked them in the over for about 30 min...a tip from a lady across the way to kill any little bugs that may be lingering deep inside.  For now I just put them in a vase but i plan to paint them fall colors.
