family home hauntings

tonight for family home evening we had a blast and took a little twist on the infamous christmas gingerbread house and made haunted halloween houses to celebrate the greatest holiday ever.
michael bracing himself before the madness began

before we started we needed to fuel ourselves with some dinner. we ate mummies to get the creative juices flowing

the final masterpieces:
jenn and cosmo's haunted mansion (and no thats not a snow man above the door, its a ghost! booo)

erika, angela, and julia's haunted creation... this was rebuilt and demolished several times due to differences in the creative process.
julia was quite proud of her dead guy on the right.
and the winner of the night- dad, mom, and michaels ultimate haunted house!
the picture does it no justice.

the architects
the question is....what do we do with them now???

LOVE the houses! We made them last year, I tried being the happy homemaker and had the kids over to the appartment to make them. They were awesome. Too bad we (tanner and I) aren't having kids or we (you and I) could make it a tradition for our kids every year. I can always just put up the pics of our fake kids that I made the other night. Your kids might find that creepy though. But hey halloween is supposed to be creepy! So fake creepy kids it is!

That is so awesome! Jordan was just talking to me the other day saying how fun it'd be to make a house like these for Halloween!
Did they stay up ok?
How did you guys reenforce them?
Looks like a blast, and I'm kinda jealous we didn't think to do this sooner!
