I do realize that Halloween was over two months ago. But there are moments that I don't want to forget. This is one of them. We took the kids to a farm, if you recall, and had them pick out pumpkins. Shhh...don't tell Abbey, but I had to replace hers before Halloween because it had started to rot. Halloween evening, I pulled them out so the kids could decroate them. Too young for knives and I wanted it to be THEIR project, so I gave them crayons. Adam jumped right in. Please note that his trusty assistant Rexy is helping him.
Abbey had some fun with it, too.
My cute boy decided to stack it on his trick or treat pumpkin...boy he loves to group things together!
Mommy wrote the names...
I had them take them to the porch. Adam caught on right away and carried his own.
Abbey followed us out.
Then she got the idea.
Adam reluctantly posed for a photo.
Neither kid was happy with going inside and leaving their pumpkin outside. It took some work!
It actually went well. They got the point and it was a nice moment on Halloween. And Abbey colored with the crayons instead of eating them, so that in itself was a victory!

No longer eating crayons or necklaces...we are on the right path. Good idea to have them use crayons at this age.
