Meet Mrs. Pumpkin

Don't be afraid. She does look a little odd, but she's friendly enough. Beth made her at school today at the annual pumpkin decorating festival. It was a very precarious ride home. At every bump in the road I heard screeches emanating from the back of the van... "Oh no! There go her eyes!" and "Stop the car, Mommy! Her hair is falling off! She's ruined. She'll never be the same! Please, stop!"

We managed to make it home with the majority of Mrs. Pumpkin's pieces intact, and a little Elmer's glue took care of the few problem areas. Her best feature? According to Beth, "If you lift up her hair, there are loads more stickers underneath! Isn't that the coolest thing about her?!"

I think maybe it's a face only a mother (in this case, Beth) can love. But feel free to make copies for your computer wallpaper if you are so inclined. I hope you enjoy meeting her as much as we did.
