Fun Fall Projects

Keeping two boys occupied on a frigid October day is not for the weak of hearts.  Their attention span is...ummm...two minutes on a good day.  So, to solve crappy weather dilemmas, we have to come up with projects that are simple but fun for a 4 year old and an 8 year old to do together. 

Noah and Abram like to do EVERYTHING together.  They sleep together (they do have their own bedrooms but choose to sleep together) in a twin sized bed, they shower together, watch movies together, eat together, and they play really well together.  They are best buds.  This is something that I hope they never lose because their relationship is very special. 

So, we filled a morning with making Scary Ghosts.

We started by cutting up old dish towels...


...and turned them into Scary Ghosts...


...which we then hung them outside in the tree (which I am sure that our conservative Apostolic neighbors loved.)

  1. Cute ghosts! What did you put inside of them to make the round heads? I bet the boys loved it and I bet your neighbors do to! ; )

    And I really like the brother quote. You need to get that in vinyl lettering up on a wall in their room.
