While the pandemic has definitely put a damper on holidays and gatherings, that doesn’t mean the couple can’t decorate their house.
After a bit of hunting, Scarlett returned to her car with a pale green pumpkin in her arms.
The actress returned to her car wearing fluffy sandals, olive green sweats, and a pink mask and shades concealing her face.
Colin selected a more traditional orange pumpkin, which he carried by the stem.

Scarlett and her fiance have been in lockdown together in The Hamptons these last few months, but Colin was back in New York City this weekend for a taping of Saturday Night Live.
The couple have been engaged for a year now, but have had to postpone their wedding due to the health crisis.
While speaking with Andy Cohen, Colin said that prohibitions on large gatherings might make it legally impossible to have their wedding for some time.

‘This is not the time to get all your elderly, at-risk relatives together in one big group,’ the Weekend Update anchor said. ‘I don’t know when that moment will be.’
‘We don’t know if we can do a live show for SNL yet, let alone have a wedding where the audience is elders,’ he said.
Colin and Scarlett started dating in 2017, but the couple first crossed paths in 2006 when he was a writer on SNL and she was hosting the show.
In his book A Very Punchable Face: A Memoir, Colin recalled his first impression of her.
‘I remember her being beautiful, smart, sweet, and intimidatingly sophisticated,’ Jost wrote, hailing the A-list actress for having ‘a grace and a smile that I’ve still never seen in any other human.’
