Science experiment.

I'm a little embarrassed (and, at the same time, a little proud) to say that we still have our Halloween pumpkin on our patio. At this point, it looks like a balloon that's about three-quarters deflated. I'm really starting to wonder: if we leave it out there, will it eventually disintegrate into nothing? How long will it take to disappear entirely? And are we really so redneck that we would leave it out there long enough to find out?

Actually (and this is even more redneck), it's sitting on our plastic patio chair. The only one we have, might I add. On a porch that still has Christmas tinsel around the railing.

Oh my God. Just writing that made me realize how sad I am. I'm going out there right now.

OK, I took down the tinsel/garland and ribbon. The pumpkin is still out there.

And I should really say "balcony," I guess, since we live upstairs. So if I "kicked it off" into the front yard, I just might kill someone.

So your out there anyways and taking care of stuff. BUT the pumpkin still sits there. Where's Jeff? If you can't pick it up and throw it out into the dumpster try hitting someone with it. Just think of the points you'll earn for that one. Melissa

what an entertaining post :). I am cracking up. I wont touch them once they start to rot, so i make my husband do it. He picked them up the beginning of November and they were pretty bad. We got them in early October. Jen, you are so funny! keep us posted on your experiement. When do you start the new nanny job?
