I bet you are over Halloween

My intentions were to share all the fun Halloween things we were doing, as we were doing them.

That didn't happen.

I for one, am glad to have gotten through October... Everyone in our little family is still SUPER tired and trying to regroup.
That having been said, I still want to share all the  pictures and projects that we did -- and I will be attempting to get them all posted and up (and done with) so we can move on to Thanksgiving!

So, here is how our Gallon Ghosts came out!

 I saw this online at the end of September and just knew 

we had to do it! 

We saved our milk gallons for about three weeks 

(we go through a bit of milk...)

The kids and I made ghost faces on them with a big Sharpie 

and Dad cut a hole 

(well, a square) 

in the back --

and then we just bunched a bunch of Christmas lights into the back and lined them all up ~

DJ wants to save them, but I think 

we will just make new ones every year!

ghostly hands

You may or may not know that I love all art projects that use your kid's hand prints!
-- I have a cute Turkey one and a cute Christmas Tree one that I like to do since both come out great with different sized hands.
So when I saw all the ghosts being made in Kindergarten this year, we had to make our own! DJ was still at school when we did these, so my Tree will be filled with more ghosts once I get a hold of him ~

preschool

nI am taking Kelly out of Preschool next week. I put her in about a year ago to make sure she'd be socially ready for Kindergarten -- I figured Miss Bossy Boots could learn a few things hanging out with her peers.
She loved it.
They loved her.
(I've missed her)
But now I've realized that her Kindergarten is a full day and I am running out of time to just have her with me.
So she will have a longer 'Summer' than the other kids.

I am going to have to restock my art supplies....
