Beware the Night Life
Just one week ago, Jack was in his prime. Ruddy, round-cheeked, he had a cheerful grin for all the world.
Then he went out one night and got lit up.
Now, sad to say, that once sprightly youth has aged before his time. He spends his days on the porch, cantankerously frowning at passersby.
Let this be a lesson to you, children.

You play with fire and you’re gonna get burned (and moldy)!

I thought the same thing about our poor Jack this afternoon. He was also growing a lovely mold inside, so he got tossed. I wish I’d have taken a picture. Our had a flat face that caved in on itself. Very sad.

Awesome carving job! We scraped our 2 poor Jacks off the front porch this morning – 10 days outside in Houston really does a Jack in!

One year it was unseasonably warm and by Halloween the entire pumpkin was crawling with maggots! Now THAT was the scariest Halloween pumpkin ever!
