Jack-o-lantern, Round 1

Some folks drive to the country to clamber amongst mountains of pumpkins to find the perfect gourd. Frances and I drove to Market Basket and brought home this beauty.



Little did I realize the pumpkin had several soft spots.
Nevertheless, we undressed Frances down to her undershirt in case she wanted to play with the pumpkin's innards and had a grand time carving it up. Frances turned out to be much more interested in the paper protecting the table from the pumpkin than the pumpkin itself.


Frances did have a little taste (Frances always has a little taste).


Frances helped her mama clean it out...



...and she helped her daddy carve it up.


We (meaning Mark and I, because Frances really couldn't have cared less) were very proud of our pumpkin. And then it rotted. On to Round 2!
