I wanted today to be super fun. I wanted it to be a day of fall family fun. Popcorn ball making, jumping in leaves, booing the neighbors, pumpkin carving, Casper movie watching type of family fun. That was not the reality. The reality was a very tired fam of 5 trying to have fun.
They were done making the popcorn balls before they were all made. Neither of them would try one of them.
Buttering the hands
Don't you just love her hair. hehehe
Booing the neighbors!!! This part was fun but it took like 5 seconds. We dropped these baskets off, rang the doorbell and ran. The person that has been booed is supposed to then boo another neighbor. We will see.
Caroline and Lilly- their mom caught us. hhehhe
Alison and Aaron
When it came time to carve the pumpkin J and C got in a huge fight over shoes. C went running to her bedroom and I got mad at J for picking a fight with her. Didn't want C to miss the carving over shoes. He got mad at me and then went to get C. Av and I went out to start carving. Av started crying bc it was cold. She was mad we were making her stay outside. None of them would go near the "guts." hehehhe fun times.
E said, "can I carve my pumpkin?" hehehheh Poor buddy only had a gourd. It's what he picked at the pumpkin patch though.
We moved it inside for the carving. They helped him pick out a cat to put on it. One of the hardest designs they could have picked. Then they sat and watched/helped for about 2.2 seconds then back to fighting. I took them up for a bath while he finished it.
J surprised me with the back!!! Very cute.
The leaves were fun for a few minutes and C like Casper. Av complained the whole time.
Bedtime was rough too. Glad they are in bed!!!!!
