Ghosts!

I think shaving cream mixed with white glue makes the best paint.  It's squishy and easy and fun, and the final result is very cool.

Kate's Post Halloween Ghost

Two days after Halloween, Kate decided she wanted to make a ghost.  Sure, why not!?

This craft was the beginning of Kate's current obsession with glitter.  Every day now she asks to make something sparkly!

Masks and Pumpkins

The boys (including Tom) painted masks with black light reactive paint last week.  They came out great!

While they painted the masks, Reagan painted her pumpkin.  She was inspired by Tom's design on his mask.

Kate was in bed during this painting session, but when she woke up in the morning and saw Reagan's pumpkin, she wanted to paint hers right away.

More Halloween Fun!

 Kate's Frankenfoot is the cutest thing ever.  I love this simple craft!

Spider doughnuts!

 Kate and I used candy corn to work on counting and number recognition.

I saw these Build A Skeleton cookies at Target and I could not resist them.  The kids had a lot of fun with them.

Haunted Houses

This is Kate's first paper bag haunted house.  I drew the two windows at the top, but she drew the window and door at the bottom!

Kate has lollipop all over her face.

I assembled these haunted houses for the girls to finish.  They enjoyed drawing scary creatures in the windows and behind the door.  I made one for Collin too, but after starting it, he decided he wasn't interested and that was okay too!

Kate was absolutely adorable describing her haunted house to me.  Here is the video:

Edible haunted houses were a WIN with all four kids - no surprise there.

Tyler had no interest in assembling his; he just slathered the icing onto the pieces and added sprinkles.

It's not too often that all four kids are working on the same thing at the same time.  I love when this happens.

 Gross gob of frosting on Reagan's teeth.

Ghosts

 Cookie cutter ghost prints

 I painted Kate's feet white to make footprint ghosts.

 Cotton Ball Ghost

A ghost in Kate's hot chocolate, and her spooky face!

Look at these two cuties making footprint ghosts back in 2009!
