Fall Fun Day

Saturday we spent the day doing just about anything and everything the kids suggested.  It started with a trip to the donut shop with dad.  Everyone slept in till 8:30 (miracle) so we almost didn’t make it in time.

Mom had big plans to make pumpkin cupcakes. They were in some fancy cupcake book, and it is totally impossible to get it to look like the picture.

Here are some shots of the kids making the cupcakes. They had a great time.

Then, it was time to head outside for s’mores and pumpkin carving. The concerned look is from the large burst of flames that just went up in the fire pit. Don’t worry, I was an Eagle Scout. Lighter fluid is perfectly safe.

The girls went for the classic “polka-dot” pumpkin. The boys chose the challenging internet template “Darth Vader.” Needless to say, Darth Vader pumpkin wasn’t actually possible to carve. At least not with a steak knife and a jig saw.

We finished off the evening roasting s’mores and watching the stars come out. It was a great day spent with the kids.
