Yesterday, my son’s first grade class took a field trip to the pumpkin patch. I volunteered to help

out, and took my younger son with me so he didn’t feel slighted that he was without pumpkin and field trip. LOL. Since it’s nearing the end of pumpkin season, the owner said the children could take whatever pumpkin they wanted as long as they

could carry it. Let me tell you, it’s pretty funny watching a group of first graders try to lug huge pumpkins back to the bus.

Of course, since I was there, guess who got stuck carrying my son’s pumpkins? Yep. You guessed it. Me. At the time I didn’t mind, but today, my arms are so sore! I should go weigh those suckers and find out how much weight I was carrying in each arm.

The next few days are going to be hectic. My son’s preschool halloween party is tomorrow and I’m the party mom for it, so I’ll be spending today baking, putting goody bags together, and cutting out a gazillion shapes from construction paper for the construction paper ‘shape’ scarecrows I was planning for their craft. I always say I’m not going to go overboard…but then I somehow forget that. :)

Monday is halloween, of course, and my other son’s first grade halloween party, where, yes, once again, I’ve volunteered to help. So, more of the same over the weekend for me.

And nope, I still haven’t done any writing….
