Bat-O-Lanterns

So we haven't done too much by way of celebrating Halloween. I haven't made it through the sea of boxes in the basement to get out even one decoration. Thanks to the Family Fun magazine (love it!) we did have some fun making bats. Painting is always a hit around here. (Well, I think A.M. enjoyed it--in between her shrieks her hands were dirty again.) Now these fun bats grace our kitchen window just in time for tomorrow.

By the way, notice the forced smiles on both of their faces. I can't get a normal looking picture! Before I can even take a good picture A.M. is insisting to see the results on the digital screen. And E.R.--Ugh, well at least he's not giving the usual "you make me miserable, Mom" look! The full advantages of digital photography seem to be lost on my two. When I was a kid, we had to wait six months for Mom to develop the pictures; then, inevitably, my eyes were closed.

You are such a nice mom! Looking at the black paint makes me shudder. They turned out cute though.
