Tips From a Momma

The other day while we were at Apple Land, Owen picked out a little pumpkin to take home. He was extremely excited to draw the scary face on the pumpkin and for Mommy to carve it.

We got home and Owen started drawing his masterpiece, and as I was carving his pumpkin, my not so steady hand chopped, and cut his pumpkin into basically one hollowed out hole! Not sure how to even explain this properly without showing you, but I completely messed up on this pumpkin and it ended up looking like a oval pumpkin shaped candle holder! Lol

I’ve promised Owen we would carve another pumpkin before Halloween, but until then, I found online some Halloween inspired crafts to do at home (below) that I thought I’d share with all of you.

^^^Owen and painted pumpkins tonight which was a lot of fun, and bonus—no carving required! ;)^^^

I hope you are having a great week with your kiddo’s! :)
