Sooooo, I have been meaning to post some pics of my Halloween/Fall decorations that we put out on our front porch…or stoop…or walk…or, geez I don’t know, whatever you call the area by your front door. Anyhoo, so you all know we bought some pumpkins a couple of weekends ago, right!? Back when the weather was semi-nice not freeeezing like it is now…do I sound like I’m whining? So sorry about that, well, not really…I HATE the cold! Why do I live in Illinois, I really don’t know myself…anyways, I digress. Well, I like to buy the little mini ones, pie pumpkins is what I think they are called by pumpkin connoiseurs, cause I like to have a mini Noah and mini Penny pumpkin for each of the kidlets that we can carve in their likeness…to a degree…well, usually just by the number of teeth in their mouth…the front ones anyways. So, again…digressing, I know, I know…I bought a few more cause I really wanted to do some of those neat-o looking pumpkins Martha did on her October cover but I’m sad to say it just wasn’t in the cards. You see, I was doing some shopping at Wal-mart and somehow wandered into the Halloween aisles (that’s what I tell my husband anyways when my 30 minute quickie shopping trip ends up being waaaay over an hour!) Well, I come to find the neatest pumpkin accessories yet to be known to man…Mr. Potato Head plastic sticky-in parts just for pumpkins…so cool! I just had to buy a container of them for the kidlets since they love animals, and what a great way to practice animal names, body parts and sounds (woot, woot for buying something with an educational purpose!) So, Martha was out (I can’t believe I just wrote that!!!) and Mr. Pumpkin Head was in…here’s what they look like:
I TOTALLY love that pumpkin hubby! What an awesome face!!!!!
