So… the pumpkins. Though we visited the farm nice and early this year and got suckered in felt moved to support the farm once again by buying FIVE (why??) premium-priced pumpkins, we just couldn’t seem to get around to carving them til the day after Halloween. Mikey was very concerned about this turn of events. We tried to reassure him that November 1st was just as good. It would make the fun last that much longer, we reasoned. He wasn’t convinced until we told him it was now or never buddy, and suddenly he was all on board with our radical, day-after carving party.
Only, we just couldn’t seem to get around to lighting them up that night. And so we left them right where they are in this picture. For a few days. And then it rained. And then they turned black inside. And then Phil chucked them into the outside trash can while no one was looking. Still making that face (see above).
