So my sister volunteered her house this year to do some Halloween crafts and for the kids to play outside in a gated backyard. It was perfect weather and it gave them the opportunity to wear themselves out and to give the adults some sanity.
The first thing we made were Halloween Monsters. We took a piece of paper and dropped paint in spots on the paper and then folded it in half. Open it up and then decorate your masterpiece. It was fun and the kids got messy. We had some very unique monsters.
We also made spider webs by rolling a marble around in paint and then rolling it all around a piece of paper. It was super easy and all the kids could roll around the marble in the pie tin all by themselves. Once done we had to get a few pictures to document the occasion!
So the last day of fall break we decided to get out of the house. We took a little drive in the van because the kids love to watch a movie and jam to the music. We went to Toys-r-Us to create a little Christmas list for each kid. Well, with 5 kids that's not so easy. We knew it would be chaotic but all in all it wasn't to bad. They went from one section to another very quickly and lists became longer and longer. After looking at toys forever we decided to spoil our dinner and go to Krispie Kream and see how they make the donuts. We got there just in time to see them finish a batch of chocolate glazed donuts. The kids loved to see each step in the process, it's pretty cool. Finally, we got to pick out a donut and some milk. They each put on a hat and sat down to eat. It was a hectic day but by the end of it all we had accomplished exhaustion! Back to the normal routine tomorrow!
