Crazy Creatvity

I love watching my kids use their imagination to play and create.  I think it is an important skill to have.  So, I delight in sharing my fun, crazy, imaginative children with others...so yes, you get another post of creations and things!

#2 Boy's 3D hand art (found the idea online)

#4 Boy and #2 Boy roasting "hot dog" and "marshmallow" sewn by them out of fabric... yes, let them enjoy the sewing machine!  (Pretty sure they have cute names, but can't think of them)

#3 Girl's strawberry and #1 Girl's blueberry

#1 Girl teaching #3 Girl how to hand stitch (Love these scenes!)

Weird, Crazy and Loving it!

#6 Boy as "Santa's helper"

#2 Boy pulled apart some of his other Lego guys to make Emmet from "The Lego Movie"

Falling Asleep

I have had kids fall asleep all over the place... but this I must say was one of the most interesting...

My sister in law watched my kids for my one morning while I was out. His sister couldn't calm him down...he has been super clingy, like I can't walk three steps without him whining at me. So, sister in law took him into the bathroom with her while she got ready for the day. And there he fell asleep. So cute...right?!

DIY Halloween Glow in the Dark Skeletons

 Over 80 feet of glow-in-the-dark duct tape and many late nights (because when else are you suppose to complete such a craft?) The costumes are ready!  We are all excited to add the glow-in-the-dark face paint to complete to costumes.  In the mean time the kids have been wearing the "skeleton" of their costumes..(yes, pun intended!)

Dad working on getting the bones just right!

Every cut counts

The first pair of legs glowing in the dark...the excitement builds!

The legs not in the dark

Now to figure out the design for the tops

Tops making progress (yes, most cutting was done at night sitting on the bed)

The kids wore their "skeletons" to school on Tuesday so I let the younger ones wear theirs all day too.  We did have to hit a store after school and got many a comments on the family of skeletons.

 We let the children each pick their own "type" of skeleton.
