Halloween Foam Art

Grandma found some fun foam art Halloween themed kits at the store a couple weeks ago, and the kids (and Grandma and Great-Grandma... !) had a great time creating some *masterpieces*.

It is interesting how they have different styles.

Jake favors sparse. Viva stacks as much as she can on the page. Bentley? Somewhere in between the twins. I like to think he has a bit more of a sense of "style". Maybe, maybe not?!  Jake did 2 pieces for us, and that was it.  Typical for Jake and a crafty type project though - he lost his interest and ran off to play ball.  Bentley did a number in all different colors.  Viva?  She did 4 of them, all in purple.  No desire to stray from her foam color of choice... :-)

Bentley did a larger piece of art too.

Lastly, here is Great-Grandma's masterpiece!

We've been trying to get into the Halloween spirit around here.  We've made paper bats, paper pumpkins, paper chains... we've baked pumpkin bars, read pumpkin books, and we're getting ready to bake pumpkin pie and eat pumpkin marshmallows.  Maybe I need to branch out from my pumpkin theme?!!

The kids have also selected Halloween costumes (strangely enough they have rather definite opinions on what they want to be already... aren't they starting kind of young with this assertiveness?!), and 2 out of 3 of them are here and ready to go.  Ebay, I love you.

It's crazy around here!
