The One with the purplish, pinkish, bluish pumpkin.

Remember the other day when I mentioned my getting around to carving that pumpkin sitting on my kitchen floor? Well, I managed to talk myself out of carving it.

Do you know how many times I will have to go outside each night to make sure the candle is out? And finally, the little lady isn't old enough to carve, and I wanted her to have some fun too. So we painted it.
