Um... huh. Quite the dilemma. Wouldn't be a problem if I hadn't driven my car to the airport in Texas and left it in long term parking. Still wouldn't be much of a problem if we didn't live and work 45 minutes away from the airport. STILL wouldn't be a problem if I didn't have to ask The Man, already having missed a day of work to stay home with Loodle on Monday to deal with an ear infection, to come to the airport and bring me his set of keys. In the middle of his work day.
Yeah, I was in the dog house a little yesterday. However, after getting off the plane, coming down the escalators and, upon seeing him, bursting into tears, he let me off the hook a little. And then he proceeded to hug me to death, listen to my tearful reasons for crying (I missed you so much and today's the day my dad died and I'm watching all these people meet and hug in the airport and the lady at American Airlines let the guy in his military uniform upgrade to first class for freeeeee, WAAAAAHHHHH) and take me out to lunch, no recriminations or grumpiness ensuing. Gotta love that guy.

We carved pumpkins tonight, and there's really no funny anecdote involved. Just tradition being passed forward one more time. I think after the kids are gone to college, I'll still be carving pumpkins and coloring Easter eggs.
I got no pictures during the actual carving, because hello? Expensive camera + pumpkin goop + control freak + sharp knives = no cameras allowed. Here are the finished products:
The Man's and Boodle's
Mine and Loodle'sHere's where I need your interpretive skills:
The Man's pumpkin is the top pumpkin in the first picture. The girls thought it was an awesome vampire pumpkin, and that was his intention. BUT, the longer I stare at it, this pumpkin appears to have a goofy, wide open mouth sporting one giant tooth.
Your thoughts?
5 of you HAD to say...:
Vampire pumpkin? Only if Gomer Pyle was bit back in the 60's maybe... actually, that would explain so much about the show. The girls' pumpkins look a lot like LittleMan's and BoopaLoop's. What is it about our 6-year olds that compel them to create very small-faced jack-o-lanters?
The Man is a little right in the irony, but you never claimed to be the master of common sense. I hold that title.
LOL I totally thought it was a big single tooth until I read that it was supposed to be a vampire! Too funny.
yeah, big toothed pumpkin was my first thought. I do have to say, I LOVE the smirk sported on Boodle's pumpkin though. I'm glad you made it home in one piece and
"I MISS YOU ALREADY!"
I thought it was a goofy pumpkin with a buck tooth. Don't vampires have sharp and pointy teeth? Hmmm...
Happy Halloween!
Those jack-o-lanterns are great. I'm not seeing a vamp though. NOt one bit. hehe
Sorry about the car keys/airport problem.
