Pumpkin Carols

Ahh - still haven't found my camera, I let G. take pictures with it, so it might turn up in the train box or something.


Anywho, in our nightly routine, we always sing songs to our kids. This year, I busted out some Halloween songs that I had collected while I was teaching school. As corny as they are, my kids are really getting a kick out of them. Usually we only sing one song - two if they are lucky. Now we're singing 6-7 songs because we're all having such fun. Here's a little example:

O Haunted House,
O Haunted House --
You're old and very scary.
O Haunted House,
O Haunted House--
You give me a night-marey-y.
Your wooden staircase
groans and creaks.
Your doors have lots
of eerie squeaks.
O Haunted House,
O Haunted House--
The mansion stands so proudly.



Lest I leave with a boring picture-less blogs, here are some of the crafts I might try with my sister in laws here:

There are tons of ideas out there - these are some quick favorites.

That song just gave me a serious case of the giggles! My kids will LOVE it.

And good luck finding your camera...I found my phone in the dress-up box a couple of weeks ago, but only after I happened to be downstairs when my husband called...:-)

Even though your camera is lost...I still got to enjoy the beautiful pictures of your kids on your side bar. What little dolls they are. I entered for that quilt too...what a gorgeous thing that is! Thanks for stopping by my blog today on my SITS day. I've really enjoyed meeting so many new people!
