I’ve been an architect, day-care teacher to toddlers, and library clerk, but am currently a SAHM to a 14yo son and 9yo daughter. I carefully save my seed packets to use over several years and even harvest some seeds from my previous year’s plants so I don’t need to buy as many in the future. We share our home with a 70lb rescued mutt.

So, I checked in with my daughter-in-law to see what she thought they would have fun doing and that would be fun for her to get. Since I already had some sandrete (a kind of cement I use to fill the lines in my brick sidewalk), I decided to wait on getting a kit and do a bit more research. I used the sandrete I already had.

Re-purpose the used costume. Tip # 3 Use up your pumpkins.
