Just A Typical Thursday {Vlog!}

It's been over a week since I've posted a vlog. I just really didn't know what to record. So today I just decided to record throughout the day and see what I come up with. I like the end result.

Please comment below! I'd love to hear from you!

Halloween and Pumpkins

Better late than never, right? The weekend before Halloween we carved pumpkins and did a pumpkin experiment.

The kids' pumpkins. The top one is Maddy's. She helped daddy draw it then he carved it. The bottom one is Sean's. He drew his design all by himself and then I carved it.

Our pumpkin experiment included smaller pumpkins. I simply cut off the tops and the kids added dirt and water. We're trying to grow more pumpkins from them.

Inspired by this pin/website.

We also wanted to try this pin but the blog is password protected and the directions on the pin didn't work too well.

Then came Halloween night!! The kids were so excited. I was excited because they wanted to be ghosts. You can get any easier or cheaper than that! A sheet each, white sweatshirts, white face paint, white hair spray and you get this:

Checking out their loot mid trick-or-treating.
Maddy said "I need more candy!" and ran up to the next house.

School Days: Halloween

Halloween is right around the corner so we spent the last 2 weeks decorating the house. The best part about all the decorations is they didn't cost us a dime to make. We had everything already laying around the house and a lot of the supplies are recycled materials. Here's what we did:

One of my favorites is our door decoration. I took a black trash bag (that someone gave us hand-me-downs in none the less), and cut the draw string off and cut the sides to make it flat. The kids then added lots of white hand prints. I finished it off with "Happy Halloween" in orange pant.

Another area of the house that we like to decorate is the big picture window. We combined the coffee filter spider webs from The Artful Parent and egg carton spiders to create these. They really look neat from the outside at night with the lights shinning through the shear curtains we have.

These little ghosts were great scissor practice for the kids. They are just tissues with fringes cut around the edges. The heads are just cotton balls tied into place with spooky faces drawn on too.

The kids are being ghosts for this Halloween so Sean and I used the left over fabric to make these mummies.

Last but not least, Moms Like Me's post were the inspiration for our bats.

What are you doing to get ready for Halloween?

Halloween

Halloween week! What a fun and busy week. I had a couple crafts lined up for this week but Sean wasn't interested. So, we just enjoyed the week. We had a few Halloween books checked out from the library and then the Halloween festivities.

We carved pumpkins. Maddy got into it more than Sean. Sean told us "It's too yucky".

Poor Maddy dropped a slippery seed and spent a good 15 minutes trying to pick it up.

The finished products:

We had a Halloween party Friday night and then Sean got to wear his costume to dance on Saturday morning.

And we can't forget Trick-or-Treating!! This was the first year Sean actually got into it. Maddy took right to it. She went running, trying to drag me down the street.
