Halloween Fun

When I used to dream of having children, I imagined doing crafts with them, baking, celebrating holidays, and things like that.  When I first brought Bethie home from the hospital, I remember looking at her and thinking how tiny she was, and how long it would be before we could do the things I had imagined when I was pregnant with her.

Time flies, as it always does when you have something precious, and here I am now doing all those fun things with the most wonderful 2-1/2 year old girl in the entire world.

I am not a morning person like Bethie, so our mornings are very low-key while she runs around here and I try to wake up.  Afternoons, though, that's when the fun starts.  We try to do a project each afternoon, whether we bake or create or go on an outing.  Some days, like today, we do something simple like coloring Halloween pictures.  Other days, we get a little messy.

The last two weeks have been very quiet around here as both Bethie and I were sick, but this week we've gotten our groove back.  On Monday, we made a ghostly garland out of our hand prints:

 













We made jack 'o lanterns to decorate the front door: 


And I made a countdown calendar that Bethie will get to use starting next week. 

Each window has a different fun acticity for us to do, just in case we can't come up with something ourselves!
Life is spooky good around here these days!

P.S.  I don't like the changes in formatting, so bear with me while I re-learn how to insert photos!
