Two kids at a duck game where you crank water and the ducks go down the tube. One kid is wearing a purple and green Halloween sweater with spooky creatures, the other is wearing an orange and green one with jack-o-lanterns. ๐Ÿงถ

So excited spooky season is here, weโ€™ll see how many times the kids will let me take them out in their new crochet sweaters. I donโ€™t think Iโ€™ll get the three for my coworkers done by Tuesday like I wanted to, but soon!!!
