At the grocery store last night:
Bailey: Mama, when are we doing pumpkins?
Me: Well tomorrow you and sissy have that gymnastics party to go to...and then the next day is Halloween.
Bailey: So maybe on Saturday?
Me: Well I'm thinking we are too late this year. Saturday is after Friday, so it's after Halloween.
Bailey: Can we still trick-der-treat if we don't do the pumpkins?
Me: Oh yeah, definitely. There's no rule about that.
Bailey: I like pumpkins.
Me: I know you do, but we just waited too long this year. See how gross looking those ones are?
Bailey: Yeah, they are icky. Ok, but mama?
Me: Yeah?
Bailey: We have to see Santa okay? We can't miss Santa, cause I need new toys. Deal, mama?
Me: Ok, kiddo. That's a deal. We'll see Santa, I promise.
I freaking love this kid. She is a pain in the ass some times, like all four year olds can be, but she makes things so easy sometimes. So, ha, we're off the hook for pumpkins. Yay me!

haha, we didn't do pumpkins this year either. I feel so guilty each day when we pull in the driveway and my daughter sees the neighbor's pumpkins and goes "I wan... I wan punkin."
Yeah. Way to make me feel like a schmuck.
I carved ours last night--they're glowing on the front porch as I type :-)
I think your kids and mine would have fun together!
Sounds like a good deal to me. I hate scooping pumpkin junk!
lol we were too late this year too and never did them and i'm so grateful hannah never even asked about them!
