Halloween 2012

October post

Lately Lucy- the 4 year old I nanny- has been asking me frequently when Halloween is. We decorated the house with pumpkins, witches, bats, ghost (you get the idea...) at the beginning of October, and from her perspective Halloween should be here any day. Enough waiting all ready!

So, help her grasp the concept of how for away Halloween is we made a calendar for October, a countdown chain and a countdown paper-thing (a very technical term I know).

Check them out.

Halloween Cookies

Today is Columbus Day- aka no school for elementary school.

I had all four kiddos home today so we decided to make Halloween Sugar Cookies

We made our cookies out of batts, cats, pumpkins and tomb stones. And decorated them with orange frosting and Halloweenie sprinkles.

While we waited for the cookies in the oven we watched "It's the Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown."

It definitely felt like October today!


Happy Columbus Day!

Halloween Decor

P.s. thanks for the cute kitchen towel mom and the Halloween confetti. We love it. ;)
