Weekdays are pretty much business around here. We have a routine that we tend to adhere to from Monday through Thursday. The kids' fun is limited to watching a show and maybe playing Legos or Beyblade. Sometimes we get a short board game in before it's time to take showers, brush teeth, and read books.
Tonight was different. I realized yesterday that we hadn't carved the pumpkins M and I picked up last week. If we were going to get it done before Halloween, today was the day to do it.
We started out with having breakfast for dinner. This could be the first time in my almost-ten years of marriage that has happened. D and I are going to Mexico in 11 days and have
been eating no carbs for about a week.
Omelets were on the menu.
And D makes a mean one!
Then it was time to get our carving on!
It was M's first foray into the pulling-guts business, and she was elbow deep in it. She even donned an apron.
J picked one named "Pirate Jack" and M's was called "Traditional Happy" which she quickly changed to Princess Jackie.
We wrapped up the night with homemade caramel apples and caramel/cheese popcorn ~ not homemade, but delicious.
Both D and I caved and had some.
We suck.
Our night didn't.
