Mr. Pumpkin Head

True confession-I hate carving pumpkins. I think they are slimy and stinky. And every time my skin comes in contact with the orange goo, I break out in a red, itchy rash. Needless to say, Halloween pumpkin carving is not one of my favorite activities. But this year, I found the most amazing thing-a package of pumpkin parts! Scary eyes, gross noses, spooky mouths, etc. You just poke them in, like Mr. Potato Head, and you don't have to mess with the mess. Decorating pumpkins this year was actually blissful. The boys loved picking out their parts, and poking them in, and I am itch-free. Everyone wins. And the pumpkins turned out pretty cute too.

How incredibly awesome! I saw those and thought of it, but knew my husband would rather take a knife to a pumpkin.
