It's been just as busy a week as it was this past weekend. Let's face it, perhaps I really can't update this stupid blog every day.
Watch, as soon as I say something like that, I'll do another 365 day blogging challenge or something outrageous.
This week was full of Halloween crafts, because obviously. My favorite was a two-day haunted house activity. The first day we painted a moonlit sky scene using various shades of purple. After it dried (the next day actually), we used construction paper to create a template for a haunted house to glue onto the moonlit scene. Then, as part of a writing project for school, the kids had to write a "For Sale" ad about their haunted house, being as outlandish and ridiculous (and creepy) as humanly possible (while staying relevant).
Calen's "Hotel" (as he described it) features 35 floors and 820 bathrooms, drawbridge, levitating tables, witches for housekeeping, and a 627 degree hot tub.
Camden's mansion features 999 bedrooms, a cemetery back yard, piranhas in the hot tub, a fuzzy wampa carpet and a vampire butler, of course.
Yesterday we took the handful of toilet paper rolls that I've been hoarding and painted them purple, then the boys cut out their own bat wings and glued eyeballs on to turn them into a unique little bat family. Add some hole punch holes on the bottom and we strung them up upside down in the dining room.
I mean, everyone should decorate their dining room with toilet paper rolls.
Today our friends came over and we decorated our first big batch of Halloween cookies! The dining room table was completely overrun with two dozen cookies, frosting tubes, sprinkles and candy eyeballs (but of course), and half a dozen kids completely out of their minds in the upward spiral of a sugar rush.
