Just to put things into context, we don't really celebrate Halloween. But it's quite an impromptu decision to create a party for the kids to play, and the adults to meet. So, why not?
And that is why it's given my time with Kate in the evenings some purpose - we do craft sometimes anyway and this week, we have an objective - to create suitable decoration for our Halloween party! So after settling
Kate's costume, and a
first round of deco, last night, we attempted something new.

| I cut a towel paper roll into two. And we painted it black. |

Can you guess what we made?

| Kate's "scary face" with our spiders! |
It was a rather simple exercise, and we made do with existing materials at home! I had initially wanted to poke holes and stick the "legs" in, but it was a bit too much work and after asking the husband for his opinion (OMG he was involved! *sarcasm much), he did give a pretty good idea of stapling the legs on. It doesn't look great from the back though, but it works for me.
We then took old materials from other craft projects previously and stuck on eyes, noses and mouths for our spiders.

| Kate's named them Toobsie and Tubsie! |
