Pumpkin Puddle

Since schools don't celebrate Halloween anymore the librarian at my daughters school started pumpkin decorating contest. This was the first year Maddie participated and she decorated a pumpkin like Camilla Cream from A Bad Case of the Stripes. As luck would have it and not a whole lot of people entered-she won first place for Funniest Pumpkin. For days I wanted to take her picture with the prize winning pumpkin but today I discovered Camilla leaking all over the fireplace hearth. I tried to scoop her up with a spatulla and dump her into a bag however she didn't make it in all in one piece so now I have sticky leaky pumpkin guts all over. This was an excellent reason to mop the floor really good.

So this is your warning-toss the Halloween pumpkins.

The semester is almost over...14 more days...
