The Great Pumpkin

If Charlie Brown and the gang ever really got to see the great pumpkin, this is what they would have seen.


There are a couple of fruit stands on the 126 that Thad passes every day to and from work, and this year he stopped in and brought home an 86 lb pumpkin. Needless to say Andi has been very excited to make it into a jack-O-lantern. Here are some before, during, and afters of the process.




In case you were wondering, yes that is a cord sticking out of the back of the pumpkin, because Thad though a candle just wouldn't do it justice. So he took apart a lamp and that is a 75 watt bulb lighting up the block. Andi's little pumpkin however has the traditional candle lighting it, which is why it looks blank ;)

And of course, there is nothing odd about your child being put in a pumpkin... isn't there a deranged nursery rhyme about that?!
