Last week Benny and I made ghosties to hang from the loft. See them up there?
We make them with balled up paper towels, a little string, and a black marker. I think Benny did an exceptional job with the faces this year.
Also of semi-recent activity was the purchase of a trail cam. We bought it in the hopes of getting a surprise picture of our marauding bear that's been vandalizing the neighborhood. Benny and Marty put the camera up together.
Benny had to put all the batteries in and he made sure they were put in with all the postives and negatives where they should be. We mounted the bear cam and ran many tests. But weeks later, we have yet to get a picture of the bear. But this is a GOOD THING because I think it means the bear has moved on. No one has disturbed our garbage or anything else for weeks!
We do, however, have a nice picture of the UPS man, the kids stumbling out to the car in the dark of a school morning, and several pictures of Marty walking to and from his truck.
And maybe a horrible picture or two of me in my robe and glasses, backing the car up and prepping to drive everyone to the bus. But those pictures are meant to be burned!

Those ghosts are great! So is it just a white paper towel for the 'body' stuffed with more paper towels? I was thinking of cutting up some white trash bags to make some for outside for Saturday night.
No sneaking out for your kids as they get older. They'd get caught on the camera!
Haha, that is so true. Can you imagine the look of shock?
Yes, the ghosts are a balled up paper towel, wrapped in another paper towel, tied at the neck with string. Benny gave up the tying part but he drew the faces. And if you get bio-degradable pts you can have earth-friendly, eco-friendly, "green" ghosts that you won't mind throwing away afterwards!
