Things don't last like they used to...


We carved pumpkins about a week and a half ago and here is what they look like now...

Not too shabby...uuuuhhhh, right! They looked like this after about 3 days! I really don't remember pumpkins rotting this fast when I was younger. If you can't tell that is the top of their heads sitting behind them because they are too small to fit in the hole in the top. Mine (the one in the back) had some pretty sweet buck teeth but they curled up into his mouth. Ryan's guy just has a sunken in face and a little gangrene (sp?) inside of his head.

I was going to try and make a list of "things that don't last like they used to..." and now I am drawing a blank. Any ideas?

Oh...and don't forget to offer up your opinion on the dooney purse, see below. No anonymous comments allowed...whoever you are! :)

I THOUGHT IT WAS JUST MY PUMPKINS!!!!!!!!!!! Something has gone awry in the planting of pumpkins, I think. Ours rotted so fast - so - we put a few uncarved ones out.

meredith,
hi there! i couldn't believe it when i read your blog... all i can say is amen! i just went off about the exact same thing two days ago. our super-great carved pumpkin did the same thing the last two years. maybe it just doesn't happen in abilene as quickly!
also... i loved the haunted house blog... i mean, i can handle "hell house" in a-town, but i don't think that can really even be called a haunted house, esp. next to the stuff they can do in haunted houses now! just say no!
