More gorgeous fall color! At the nearby park are these trees that are all four fall colors. The bottom leaves are still a bit green, deepening to yellow, deepening to orange, deepening to red at the top. I seriously need to figure out what kind of trees these are and be sure to plant them at whatever house we end up living!
These BRIGHT yellow trees line the main street by us. Every day I'm blown away!
This evening we invited my family over to participate in some Halloween and pumpkin carving fun. I haven't been doing very many Halloween dinner dishes with the way Jon and I eat, so tonight was carb night and I went all out! We had these cute little Frankenstein brownies that Leiden helped me decorate.
We had a candy corn veggie platter,
And mummy dogs for the main event! Seriously, it's not even the hot dog, it's the CRESCENT rolls that are SO delicious!
and then when you pull it out, you're spooked again! She is getting really creative and interested in party planning, baking, and creative home pursuits.
After dinner we got out the pumpkin carving tools and got to work!
The kids always start out super independent, scooping out their own pumpkins,
and then somehow it always ends up that an adult is finishing it for them. Those darn stringy bits on the inside are pretty demoralizing for a kid!
Leiden wanted to do a unicorn, and despite the intricacy of her pattern, she went for it!
Mimi has enlisted Bapa to help her. She looks like she knows she's sly!
We saved the seeds, but didn't end up doing anything with them this evening, so we'll have to see if they are still okay in the morning.
Here they are! Leiden's unicorn, Mac's Jack Skellington, and Mimi's dragon!
Jon treated each with some bleach spray, in hopes they will make it to Halloween without shriveling into themselves!
