The Greatest Halloween Invention EVER!

For FHE last night we planted our winter garden-corn, radishes, spinach, carrots, snow peas and lettuce. We also decorated our pumpkins with the greatest Halloween invention ever-Mr. Potato Head type face pieces. This took less than five minutes and saved one of the family member's hand or fingers and a trip to the ER. The past few years Don has gotten out the power saw and used it to carve the pumpkins and I have been scared to death that someone was going to lose a finger-he has not let the younger boys do it themselves but has always helped them but Cody got to do his own. So to avoid the potential for disaster I found these face pieces at Walmart. It was quick, easy, no mess and no one lost a finger. We put them out on our retaining wall. We also put up those cute and cheap scarecrows that you can get almost anywhere for less than $5 (you could not make those for less than $5) and a few other decorations. I go in waves-I used to have all sorts of Halloween decorations that I put up for years but then I got sick of them and tossed them all. 2 years ago I got back in the spirit of decorating because we had to decorate our trunk for Trunk or Treat and I did not have anthing. Since then I have bought a few more things. By the end of the day most things end up in Cayden's room so his room can be Halloween-remember the post about him making Christmas trees in his room with various flower arrangements and hangers? Well now he decorates for Halloween. I am so glad that there are 3 straight months of holidays to decorate for!
