Ethan's popsicle stick pumpkin. He was given a lot of supervision and guidance.
Gabriel's popsicle stick pumpkin. He was left to his own devices with a pile of popsicle sticks and glue.
Ethan's decorated paper mache skull. It really turned out quite nice.(Gabriel painted a wooden bat - but Duncan promptly ate one wing and half the body.)
Ethan's paper pumpkin.
Gabriel's paper pumpkin. Normally his handwriting is quite legible. I don't know what happened here.
Ethan's hand bat. Again, lots of guidance and supervision.
Gabriel's hand bat. Once again, I tossed him the scissors and glue and wished him luck. I guess it pays to be the baby sometimes.
Once again, finding inspiration from the craftiness of others, I made this Halloween wreath from the directions by Suburban Matron. Something about mine looks really .... homemade. I can't quite put my finger on it.
This is the skull I decorated. Since I was in the feather dept of Michael's anyway, I loaded up. And you know what? Sometimes, things look better in our heads then in person - this was one of those times.The boys also made Halloween bats and owls out of those little puff ball thingys with googly eyes and everything. Heavy sigh... Duncan got a hold of those too.

I LOOOOOVE the handbats!!!! Super cool!!! What a good mom organize this. Love you!
It all looks so cute! I think the wreath looks great, I love that ornament.
Those paper pumpkins especially--I have got to try that. It looks tricky, your boys have skillz!
I love the handbats, too! I miss having little boys in the house to do fun projects like this. My youngest might join me, and my oldest might, too, but only if I locked the front door and closed the blinds so any of his friends who came knocking didn't catch him in the craft act!
;)
Wow, you are really crafty. Makes me hate you just a little.
So what you are telling us is that your Dog ate your homework? I'm going to borrow these ideas, for a birthday party activity on Saturday. Me and 12 kids?
I love those popsicle stick pumpkins! That looks like a craft even I could attempt...
I made the same hand bat with Emmy--but I did the scissor work!
These are so much fun! Love the feather skull & those bats are too cute
