Airplanes and Pumpkins

Cason was half way paying attention to lunch today, and half way just doing tricks. He said he was "gonna be da airplane!" And he was:
Then Cassie and I reupholstered some of our terribly stained dining room chairs. She did lots of the work for me, so I didn't have to use too much of my precious energy. Haha. Here she is under the hood, putting one of the seats back on for me.
Then, because I've felt like a terrible mom, doing nothing fun with the kids lately, we did some Halloween crafts. I was inspired by Nicole doing pumpkins with Delaney. I just didn't happen to have any kid safe scissors, OR Elmer's glue, so I just cut out pumpkins and a variety of eyes, noses, and mouths for them to choose from.
THEN they had to use a glue stick, which was pretty hard for them.
Poor things were trying to stick tiny little eyes to their pumpkins with a glue stick, and of course they were sticking to their fingers. Cason looked a little frustrated a couple of times, and I'd have to help him get it to stick to his paper.
But they still had fun, and eventually completed their ghosts and pumpkins.
Then Paige asked to make a black cat. So I was drawing one for her, and when I started to cut it out she told me "Cats look very impressive." Haha. I'm not sure what she meant, but it made me laugh, and she looked proud of herself.

I love how she glued the eyes on.
