I saw an idea online to use a cut apple to make pumpkin shapes. It worked so well! We painted the apple half with orange paint and then stamped our paper.
Paper Mache....
making a "spooky" expression...
creepy pumpkin doll - haha!
COSTUMES:
Myra has been waiting and waiting for "spooky day". This is the first year we have participated in halloween "traditions/customs" and between Treehouse showing halloween episodes of her favorite shows all month and neighbors decorating with blow up ghosts and pumpkin lights, Myra has fully grasped the concepts of dressing up and going door to door saying "trick or treat".
Friday night, our church had a little costume party. Myra proudly and happily wore her cow outfit. Tim was a rock star. I wore a Jester costume and wig and Isaiah was wearing a Nightwing outfit meant for a 3 or 4 year old. The picture of him crawling away makes me giggle every time :D.
Tim and Myra spent some much needed father-daughter time carving a pumpkin yesterday. We put it on our the top of our front stairs tonight, with a lit candle inside, as our way of saying, "yes, in spite of the complete lack of any halloween decorations, if you climb to the top of the stairs, candy will be handed out." :D We actually had quite a few kids come by.

Okay, I have three things to say... first, wow, great crafts. Secondly, WOW you did paper mache... I don't think I would be brave enough to attempt that. And lastly, those costumes are great-- loving the cow :)
that pumpkin doll is very creepy! Love the crafts though and the Nightwing costume, maybe Jotham and Isaiah can trade outfits for next year :).
Great crafts and costumes for all of you. Thanks for sharing. love you all.
