We at the bottom of the state don't do it until the night of halloween. Since you're a bit north (where its a bit cooler at night), you might get a few more days out of the thing.<br /><br />My friend's hubby from Maryland refused to listen to us, and was SHOCKED at the state of their jacko a few days later.<br /><br />On the other hand, I suspect your kids will think the rotting mess is really cool. <br /><br />Happy Halloween!Brownie Troop 157https://www.blogger.com/profile/07660225156868730083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5382816224610988438.post-43698637857548988382010-10-20T19:02:01.245-04:002010-10-20T19:02:01.245-04:00I couldn't be their friends....the pressure, ...I couldn't be their friends....the pressure, jeeez!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17888673615006378961noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5382816224610988438.post-25645329166208958952010-10-20T15:34:35.683-04:002010-10-20T15:34:35.683-04:00I ONLY have a camera phone.

I took approximately 200 pics of my kids at the Pumpkin Patch this year ... I scrapbook everything and save all pics to CDs. I can't help it ... I already love looking back at all the memories we made when they were babies, so I can only imagine what I'll feel when I look back in ten years :) <br />How did this turn into a ramble?

So many children are going to have serious complexes when they become adults and the paparazzi is no longer following them around. Parents - be the parent! There is nothing wrong with an occasional photo shoot, but get a grip! Side note: Do you also notice how so many people think they are professional photographers these days? Seriously, anyone with an expensive enough camera who reads the manual can take some pretty cool pics....I remember the days of developing your own film...and I'm only 32!

I'm mostly just super-interested in taking my photo skills up a notch. I don't own a reflector, and my tripod is trashed, but I can definitely empathize with the desire to get the best picture anywhere. And, as one person suggested, I do struggle with my desire to take pictures of everything vs. live in the moment with the kids.Tinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00628224053595602392noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5382816224610988438.post-1656307053792861042010-10-19T17:23:04.139-04:002010-10-19T17:23:04.139-04:00I rather enjoy the moment than capture it with a 1...I rather enjoy the moment than capture it with a 10kg camera=)Sabrinahttp://www.orlandovacation.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5382816224610988438.post-20628996437609202832010-10-19T15:21:36.841-04:002010-10-19T15:21:36.841-04:00I think it's gotten out of hand :) You are no...I think it's gotten out of hand :) You are not the only one...trust me!Katiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09253925828574581450noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5382816224610988438.post-58080049278122877992010-10-19T14:56:24.929-04:002010-10-19T14:56:24.929-04:00My daughter would have been lucky if I'd drawn...My daughter would have been lucky if I'd drawn a stick figure of her when we left the pumpkin patch.

(Maybe to document a birthday or something.) You wouldn't mock them if they'd taken their kid to a studio to have the pictures done...so what is the difference if they decided to do it outside? I think people need to lay off the mocking everyone else just a little bit. (And no, you don't need to go off on my being "one of those parents" so I just don't get it. I haven't even taken my kids to a pumpkin patch.) I just really think the world has gotten too used to mocking everyone else for any reason they can.
