The rainy weekend before Halloween

This weekend was a time for me to catch up on some school work while still spending time with the kids. 

It rained...all.weekend.long. which was good for me but drove the kids crazy. They HATE the rain. But for some strange reason, they embraced the rain and spent quite a while outside playing in it. 

That totally counts as a bath, right?!

Then we spent some time pumpkin carving and roasting the seeds. I have never roasted pumpkin seeds before but they turned out delicious. Caleb even ate them. He thought they tasted like popcorn, which is one of the foods he is missing since he got braces. 

Jansen chose to do a Patrick pumpkin from SpongeBob Squarepants. He loved the idea of carving this year, but when it came down to it, he was MIA. Caleb was ready to jump into action and got started on it. 

It turned out pretty good. 

Any day that I can spend with my kids being creative is a great day!
