Pumpkin is sitting by our front step and soon I will light a candle inside his fat belly to make him look good. We don't get many kids. Our neighbourhood has older homes and not many little ones live close by. My husband and I eat the left over chocolate bars or freeze them for later. Have a fun night, froggies.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30931389.post-81092985019828489222008-10-31T12:48:00.000-06:002008-10-31T12:48:00.000-06:00Just wanted to leave a quick note tolet your son k...Just wanted to leave a quick note to<BR/>let your son know how much we enjoyed his pumpkin carvings.

I had no idea what the heck he was doing until he finished and lit it up. And a little trick-or-treater came by later and said, "Look, Mommy. Hobbes."

But now that hubby buys the candy, we've moved up. At least this year, he only bought one huge Costco bag.
