Fall Bucket List

I saw this idea on pinterst and had to do it with the kids. It was one of the things that we wanted to get checked off of our fall bucket list and that we did! :)
We still have a few things left on our list but we have been getting quite a few things checked off! Yippee!
Back to the pumpkins...We did this right after the pumpkin bowling, it was perfect since we had so many helpers to carve pumpkins! We carved 7 pumpkins and also for the 1st time ever we baked the seeds :)
Peyton, Brayden and Ashtyn all enjoyed getting their hands super nasty and slimy from the pumpkin guts!
The start of the pumpkin carving (Austin helping me out)
Brayden took the top off his pumpkin 
Saving the seeds
Getting the face ready and adding the baking soda!
Then for the fun part... the erupting pumpkins!
We carved out the pumpkins face then got some BAKING SODA, VINEGAR AND FOOD COLORING
Dumped the baking soda on the bottom of the pumpkin and a little on it's mouth and mixed the food coloring into the vinegar and dumped the vinegar over the top. SUPER FUN!
Pouring the baking soda in
Now add the vinegar
wooolaaa! Erupting pumpkins :)
I think we used an entire bottle of vinegar we did this OVER AND OVER AND OVER!
But it was totally worth it!
