Last year, I felt a little bad that the kids' Halloween decor was so subpar. This year, I wanted to step it up - not a lot - just a little bit and with some input from the kids.
 |
| Max had made an Autumn-themed wreath in Gymboree. It fit our decor beautifully! |
 |
| Sparse webbing, but we were working on it. |

The baby pumpkin comes from Max's Gymboree art project |
 |
| I love to be scared by zombies! |
I let the kids take big swaths of webbing and decorate trees. Here's what Simone concocted ...
 |
| Can you see the scary web? |
 |
| Simone is very efficient when she's decorating |
 |
Max and Simone were actually more concerned about people coming to see their work.
They kept screaming, "Come see our zombie heads! Zombie heads, everyone! Zombie heads!" |
I took the first green web/bow around the tree and tried to make it look more menacing. Michael cleaned the shop vac's filter downwind in (my) hopes that the dust and dirt would latch onto the web. It didn't turn out as rustic as I had hoped. The web looked straight out of last year's Halloween clearance aisle at Target, which it was.
Delightfully, the kids took the hanging web blob and fastened it to the mailbox! They also added a little touch of zombie to greet anyone or anything entering our mailbox.
 |
| Boo! |
We had a great afternoon decorating and then playing in the said decorations. The kids attempted to get caught in the webbing. At one point, Simone took my camera and started taking pictures herself!
 |
| Heeellp! |
 |
| Max the Fly looks quite happy to be ensnared! |
 |
| But not for long because here comes the Giant Female Floripino Spider. |
