Pumpkins pumpkins pumkins everywhere

Not sure where they all came from but we're up to 7, yep, seven pumpkins now. They pretty much give them away on the island. We had to pay for 3 but that was only $2 each and included a hay ride for 5 of us to the pumpkin patch to pick our own pumpkins off of the vine. Tomas chose a pumpkin that is 27 lbs and Toria's is 21 lbs. Mine is a mere 13 lbs. Next Toria received a pumpkin at school, Tomas another from Beavers, 2 from the pumpkin walk at the school Halloween party. Voila! We're up to 7. Actually, we could have had 2 more pumpkins because the local grocery store was giving away free pumpkins to the kids today.

Tonight, we're off to the outdoor neighbourhood Halloween party. I'm not sure what to expect except that we've been told there will be Stilt Walkers, Fire eaters, a marimba band and professional fireworks. I told the kids we could not go because the fireworks are not on until 9pm and it is a Sunday night (school tomorrow). Plus, with the time change today it is like 10pm.

How did my kids handle the fact I told them they couldn't go? For the first time in 2 years they both had afternoon naps!
