The Story of Jack & Jill

Jack and Jill started as ordinary pumpkins. They rode home in the back of our car after being picked from the Shady Hallow Pumpkin Patch in St. Augusta. Nolan knew that this pumpkin was the right one and immediately fell in love with its smooth skin and bright orange color. Lilly picked a smaller one and was happy with the fact that it wasn't too heavy for her to carry. Jack & Jill made great front step decorations for the two weeks they lived here with us, but were ready to get out of the cold and come to life on the night before Halloween. Nolan ever so carefully rolled his in off of the front step and into the kitchen for carving. Both children set to work and enjoyed cutting and digging out the seeds. It has always been my job to cut the faces, while Mike bakes the pumpkin seeds. By the end of the night, our pumpkins had personality. We lit them, put them back outside, and came in to enjoy a bowl of warm, yummy pumpkin seeds. The End
