Puck-Ins

Who needs toys when you have puck-ins (or pumpkins)? In preparation for Halloween festivities, I brought home two small pumpkins to paint. Carving is Saturday, hold tight. I really planned on grabbing the kids on the way home from work and taking them to get small pumpkins, but the thought of the process was a headache after my insane work day. It sounds bad, but tying the laces of 4 shoes, jackets, hats, seat belts, take the work stuff out of the car, put the stroller in....wait, who buys shoes with laces??? So, I stopped at one of the nine Jewels on the way home and bought the fall treasures...let's not tell dad that they are baking pumpkins and cost $4.99...each! Sometimes I'm frugal, and other times I am just in a hurry.
