Pumpkins

This has really been an off year. Usually we carve pumpkins, I make the costumes that the kids are all excited about, we go trick-or-treating and all the fun stuff associated with Halloween. Since we live out in the country now it seemed a bit foolish and a waste of money to make costumes since it was likely they wouldn't be wearing them. Besides, with homeschooling I truly did not have the energy nor time to make anything.
We did get pumpkins but didn't really feel like carving them. Kevin had the great idea to give them the sharpie markers & let the draw on them. They had fun & got more that one image on the pumpkins.  Earlier in the day I had the kids scoop them out.  I finally got smart & had them do this on the back porch since inevitably one of them shakes their hands wildly to get all the goop off.  This year it was Jake.  They did have fun out there though!
