AITA for not thanking my husband for "taking the time" to do family Halloween activities?

Pretty much as the title sounds but I will elaborate. My husband and I are in the middle of moving into a fixer. He spends most of his spare time over there working on getting it ready to move in. This leaves me at home most of the time with our 2 young kids 6 and 2. I also have a full time job and work from home.

I arranged to have a bunch of fun family Halloween activities over the past 2 weeks because we love Halloween at our house. I planned everything, as I always do, and all my husband had to do was come. He joined in for many of the activities, but there were still things I did alone with the kids.

Today my husband told me he was upset that I wasn't more appreciative of him for taking the time to come along to these events. I told him that I shouldn't have to thank him for spending time and making memories with his family. That he chose to take on this house and do it all himself, and I have always made it clear that family time is important and holidays should not be put off due to this project he has taken on.

So am I the jerk for not appreciating him joining in on the festivities?
