Candy Bars, Chips, and Coke

True Story:
We decided that we wanted to carve pumpkins and roast pumpkin seeds, unfortunately it was the day before Halloween when we decided this. I didn't think that we would have such a hard time finding a place that wasn't sold out. That would NEVER happen in Oklahoma. The last place we went was Home Depot. I pulled into the parking lot and cruised by the garden area outside because that is where they normally have them sitting in huge boxes on pallets. I didn't see any boxes but I did see a few in the display that they had set up with fall mums leading into the garden center! Yay! I put the boys in the cart and strolled into the garden center looking for the pumpkin area.....none to be found. I asked the cashier if he could tell me where the pumpkins were.
"Right there ma'am."
He was pointing to the four in the entrance that I saw when we pulled up.
"They aren't that pretty but you're welcome to them."
So I let the boys pick out one each and headed to the register to pay.
"You can just take them ma'am. We were going to throw them out anyway."
Woo Hoo! Score!
Free pumpkins!

So the boys went home happy to have a pumpkin and I went home happy to have found them and for them to have been free.

We carved them later that night.

Z really didn't like the idea of touching the "guts." He was content with just looking inside.

Trick or Treating was the next night.

It was Z's very first time to trick or treat and this was his first house. It didn't take him long to catch on.

The boys home with their loot.

We had a great time!

Oh ya...

I missed out when I was little.

I never got full sized candy bars, chips,  and coke!

But my boys did, which means that I did too. Perks of being the parents that take them trick or treating.
