Halloween is always a fun time to get creative, both with kids' costumes and household decorations. The girls convinced me to pull out our limited decorations a couple of weeks ago, which include a fall wreath, cobwebs, and pipe cleaner spiders that Rebecca and I made last year.
After hanging those in our covered entry way, we decided we needed to add something this year. A trip to the pumpkin patch sent us home with a couple of sticker and marker decorated pumpkins, and then we came up with these simple ghosts. The girls really did most of the work, with the exception of a bit of stapling and cutting.
They glued on the googly eyes, came up with their own ideas for the ghost faces, and taped the crepe paper streamers onto the pre-cut pieces of white craft foam. We hung them in the entry, and the girls were so excited to see their daddy's reaction when he came home that evening. "Were you scared?" they asked him. Of course he said yes!
Oh, and here is a picture Rebecca drew of a haunted house.
