Over the weekend we bought an itty bitty pumpkin at the grocery store. It’s a little early to decorate for Halloween, but pumpkins in their whole form are perfectly appropriate for fall, and they’re cute, so why not? Last year I let the Bit paint a pumpkin, so that’s what she wanted to do again. […]
