Times have changed. That's for sure. Gone are the days where we travel as a family to Pumpkin patches, apple orchards weeks in advance and enjoy a nice fall day selecting pumpkins and enjoying the fine fall weather. Now there are busy schedules to coordinate. My daughter couldn't select or carve her pumpkin because she had homework and had to work. My husband took my boys up to Cub foods to select their pumpkins. It doesn't have quite the same ambience. We didn't get them until yesterday, the day before Halloween and the decorated them last night.
Here are the boys with their selections.
Here they are all carved up.
Dont' ask me what the two on the left are about. Some inside jokes from Utube videos and video games. The one on the right is a puking pumpkin my husband did. Lovely. This is the part of Halloween my husband always takes care of. Carving pumpkins.
I was busy making treats for my son's class. Here is what he gave this year.
Little pockets made out of the Stampin' Up! Sizzix top note die. These would make great gift card holders too! Here is what he gave his teacher. I made these for my co-workers too. First I made shortbread cookies with the cookie press kit from Stampin' Up!. Then I packaged them and presented them in boxes made out of the fancy favor box Sizzix die
They were a big hit at work!
Thanks for stopping by today!
