Straw Skeletons and Square Pumpkins



Leah's skeleton has hair, can you tell?

Mylo's skeleton has a mohawk

The kids LOVE to do crafts. They always seem to be better behaved and more obedient and less needy when I take the time to do something with them. Today we made Halloween decorations with stuff we have around the house. I cut up some straws and they put them on the skeleton and the square pumpkins were fun and different. I learned that Mylo doesn't like to touch glue and Leah LOVES to do crafts. They wanted to do more so we make paper ghost. We hung our new decorations around the house and it seems to be more festive around here.

Great! I might have to copy the skeleton idea...seeing as I do have straws around the house!

(love the new layout look!)

You moms are so creative! My poor kids wouldn't know what hit them if I said lets do a craft project. I have no creative blood in my whole body. After seeing our blog and Sarah's I think I am glad my kids are all in school where they can have hands on because they missed it while they were little. I know I am terrible.

Stop doing so many crafts and creative things with your kids...you're making the rest of us look bad!! :) Just kidding of course, but I think a little part of us all wish we were as good as you!

Those are really cute. I love that you used what you have at home. Both kids' smiles say it all.

I too like the new layout look!
