Pumpkin Playery

For quite a few years now, we have hosted a very silly, very mischievous, and sometimes very annoying group of Pumpkins that have insisted it is our house they would like to hang out at on Halloween.

There's always a few new faces in the bunch which keeps things interesting, and sometimes... they even bring their kids with them, who I must say, are not that very well behaved!

This guy's always terribly grumpy and always seems to be in a sour mood (we call him grumpy pants)!

Could just be that trying to get those kids of his to hold still all day starts to wear on him a bit...

Then there's the one who's always trying to scare the stem off of the little ones by telling them scary stories...he's NOT very nice!

And the one that's always wondering why the heck they have to do this every-single-year...

but at least he has a little brother who's always sooo super excited to participate and gets into the fun wholeheartedly, his other little brother though...is usually quite a bit nervous about the whole thing.

And then there's this guy....we wanted to keep him!

But his family said "absolutely not"! The little toughy below was particularly angry about the idea as this was his BPF....he kind of scared me actually.

There were a few that did stay behind though...they have some kind of deal with the squirrels, crows and other critters in the area who get to snack on them whenever they want. See I believe...that's how the pumpkins get their seeds "planted" all about town so to speak, and that way... a whole new crop of relatives sprouts up, awaiting their turn to come over to our house.

Now, if you'd like these guys to come over to YOUR house this Halloween....they're in the book!

You never know who just might show up at your door.....

Happy Halloween everyone.... ; )
