Hallowecarvedpumpkinstoosoon

Halloween is tomorrow, and this is the sad state of our super awesome jack-o-lanterns.

Oh, Sweet Dee. We hardly knew ye.
My scared pumpkin is now a squished pumpkin.
Doesn't look too bad...
Oh, jk. It looks awful. Just not quite as bad as the other two.

Thank goodness I just set up some new autumn decor...so much nicer than dead pumpkins! The sad thing is that I think we'll have to compost them before Halloween tomorrow night.  They are, sigh, moldy and fly-infested. Yeah. Not so great for trick or treaters. If we even get any around here.

Lovely mini pumpkin and eucalyptus wreath from Trader Joe's
The centerpiece of the dining room table.
Festive! 
I love me some festive gourds.

So what now? Do we run to the store and go through the whole carve-a-pumpkin-so-we-have-something-out-tomorrow thing? We do have to go get candy anyway...but I don't know if I have the energy for another afternoon of pumpkin carving.  Sigh...Halloween fail?  At least we have a little bit of fun decor?

  1. My pumpkin rotted too.  I have another uncarved pumpkin but I don't know if I feel like putting in the effort...
