Spooky House

The girls have been all into Halloween and they have wanted us to make our house in to a "Spooky House."  So we have been busy little bees making spooky crafts.  Unfortunately our house doesn't really look spooky - it looks more like an explosion of construction paper.  But here is a sampling of our work.

Handprint spiders - the big ones are mine and Gramma Hazel. 

Three little pumpkins sitting on a fence.  A witch (cut out by the girls) flew by and said "Ha Ha Ha.  I will take you home and make a pumpkin pie"  Apparently this is a song that they sing at school. And there are lots more of those pumpkins around the house!

Our footprint ghosts - lots of these hanging around as well!

The girls showing off their bats and candy corn - though they both went on record that candy corn is "not spooky mom!"

Another shot of the bats - I was so proud of myself for using toothpicks to keep the wings up (Martha Stewart I am not, but not a bad solution!)

Our salt dough ghosts - which the girls have loved playing with around the house.

Little pumpkins that the decorated at their friend Delaney's birthday party - after playing a game of find the pumpkin. So cute
