Fall!

We carved pumpkins on the first day of fall. Felt like the thing to do since Mother Nature provided us with a nice gray cool rainy day. 

Turns out, a drill (versus a knife) is actually a safer way for small hands to carve a pumpkin. In my opinion, now that I’ve tried both. Although, it does kind of shoot little squiggles of pumpkin all over the house. But the final product was cool!

We also made ourselves a fire in the fireplace and cooked hot dogs and marshmallows while gathered around the hearth. The cozy season has begun!
