front door fun with kids (aka kid craft monday)

it's october...finally. i mean...i'm still in july mentally.


but it's really october. and i can finally put up halloween crap....

and i saw this cute door on pinterest (sorry lara..i mean from a blog that got pinned on pinterest) and i thought it would be perfect for my kids to recreate....

i gave my kids full rein to decorate the fronch porch  (fronch porch...that is what i get for writing posts late at night) (which made me crazy cause i'm totally a control freak)
but they did great...

they cut out the pieces and taped them up...
(i traced my daughters with chalk and helped her with the scissors)

and we took a trip to the dollar store to get fake spiders and a rat...and a crow...and some gravestones.....

 (more goofy than scary--the teeth reminded us of mater.

and did you know that picmonkey has a whole halloween section?

 it's addicting...just saying.

 anyways...the kids did a great job!!!!

i also just found this adorable mummy door...

next year for sure!
