Halloween Projects

Hayes now calls any craft we do "Our Projects!"

I'm the Cub Scout Den Leader in my ward. For Halloween I had the boys make paper mache pumpkins. It was a little crazy trying to keep Hayes & Kamri from getting paint everywhere while five 9 year olds paper mached and painted so we had a little painting session of our own after they left.

As Hayes says, we love having "our cub scouts" over every week!

While Kamri was asleep I let Hayes pick out something online for us to make together. He found this fun little spider, with a string web that you can unroll and roll over and over again. Of course we couldn't leave Kamri out and had to add a little bit of girlyness with a bow. Which has since been ripped off by Hayes. Now that we know she'll be surrounded by boys I guess she'll have to get used to that. We found the pattern for the spiders at We Wilsons. from a link through thelongthread.

Our last Halloween project we made a little Halloween book. We were stuck inside all weekend because Hayes & Kamri were sick. Bracken had to work on a paper ALL day Saturday (we felt worse for him) and by Sunday I was dying to try and find something to entertain them both. Hayes loved deciding what to put in and Kamri loved paint the Jack-o-lanterns. Bracken joked we spent more time making it then they'll spend time looking at it. Which so far is true but at least they had fun making it and we had a peaceful Sunday evening so I'd call it a success.
