The annual Pumpkin Pound began today. With kid hammers, friends pounded golf tees into a pumpkin and then, with pliers, pull them out. It’s one of the big hits of the Wee year!

They often result in pretty cute dos. And maybe most importantly, they leave the cheeks free and clear for good nose blows!

Lisa brought in a other passel of puzzles for friends to explore.
