Halloween activities and books

Rooster worked very hard on her spider.

GH attacked one of the spiders with extreme prejudice.

These hot dog mummies were made with crescent roll dough. They were delicious.

The candy corn cheese pizza was equally delicious.

Here are a few coloring pages

We've also been reading some books for Halloween.

Julius's Candy Corn by Kevin Henkes, This is board book which profiles the greedy and manipulative Julius who steals the candy corns off the top of cupcakes;) Rooster seemed shocked by the ending of this book.

The Count Counts Scary Things by Stephanie St. Pierre, All the kids liked this book. Big Dog LOVED this book.

Clifford's First Halloween by Norman Bridwell, Rooster absolutely adored this book.

Frankenpooh by Bruce Talkington, The kids were somewhat into this book. I have noticed that the kids don't know what a lot of the Halloween stuff is about (examples: witches, Frankenstein, mummies) I have probably been a bit overprotective about exposing them to this stuff.

Barney's Trick or Treat by Mark S. Berenthal and Barney's Halloween Party by Mary Ann Dudka and Margie Larsen, Big Dog loved these stories.

Curious George Goes to a Costume Party by Margret and H.A. Rey's, Rooster and Big Dog LOVED this book.

Mrs. McMurphy's Pumpkin by Rick Walton, Rooster loved this book. She was certain that the pumpkin wouldn't return when Mrs. McMurphy sent the pumpkin down the river. But the pumpkin did come back....and eventually ended up being a pie:)

Corduroy's Best Halloween Ever, This was a very sweet story that Rooster really enjoyed.
