We did our best to have some fall fun this weekend despite the pandemic. The days are definitely getting shorter and cooler. The kids carved their halloween pumpkins this weekend. Neither chose a traditional jack-o-lantern face. Instead, Ethan carved a jail (symbolic of the pandemic, perhaps?) and Alaina carved a pumpkin on her pumpkin.
They did a pretty good job doing it mostly without adult interference and even cleaned up their mess (mostly). Win!
We also made my seasonal favorite, caramel apples. I always think about the "taffy apple" days at my elementary school--where we could pre-order caramel apples and bring them home at the end of the school day. Loved them then--and now! I had upgraded them by adding sprinkles--and they were delicious.
So, no hayrides or pumpkin patches, but, still some home fun.
