Would girls do this?

Wednesday is the day we do Art around here, so I thought in addition to our regularly scheduled Art class, I'd have the boys makes some fall/Halloween decorations that we could hang in the front window instead of the plastic window cling decorations we usually put up.  I spent time before school this morning, cutting out various fall shapes on the Cricut.   When art class rolled around, I gave them the paper cutouts and other supplies told them to decorate them however they wanted, which, in hindsight, may have been too open-ended.

Here's what we got:

Battle Pumpkin with acorn ears and battle scars, spider with a leaf hat, and a bat with what used to be a leaf cut in half and hanging from his wings- all Andrew.


From Ed, Cyclops bat, spider with what is now supposedly mistletoe over his head, and FrankenPumpkin spitting out a soul.



While I do think they are cute and creative, this is not the festive holiday theme I had envisioned for the front window.   





They did have a lot of fun making them, and I guess they do look kind of nice now that they are actually on the window.
