Pumpkin, oh pumpkin, ’tis your season of death. How I weep for you during this yearly massacre.

For as long as I can remember, puddles have been a source of naughty delight. As any child, I too was told “stay OUT of the PUDDLES!!” Of course, this made me want to do only one thing…jump straight in creating the biggest, drenching-est, most splashy-est splash I possibly could.
