Sick day

Bryce has a cold so I had him stay home today from school to get some rest. It was such a dreary morning so all of us laid around on the couch until mid morning. After a while the kids got restless so we decided to make a couple of halloween crafts and decorate the sugar cookies we made yesterday.

The kids made a mummy out of popsicle sticks. If you look closely you can see the popsicle stick body of Natalie's mummy.


We used toilet paper to wrap the mummy. Here's the finish products.



Then we put blobs of paint into the middle of a paper. We folded the paper up and squished the paint. When we opened the paint back up we got some nice ghost blobs. Bryce made a skinny white ghost and Natalie made a fat purple ghost. As soon as the paint dries we'll add eyes to the ghosts.

And finally the kids decorated their cookies and ate several!
