It's The Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown!

Now this is the best pumpkin I've ever decorated.

On our first trip to Tates Farm Pumpkin Patch 3 years ago, I ran into my cousin Jana who told me about carving out a pumpkin and sticking your newborn in it. What a cruel thing to do - I had to try it! We hallowed it out, wrapped JC in a plastic bag and down she went. It turned out to be the cutest pumpkin ever! She wasn't thrilled about the situation. While Andrew snapped the picture I stayed on the sidelines with a pacifier to calm her down. Most of the time she cried, but this one came out perfect.

If you have a new baby I suggest you make a cute pumpkin picture like this. They will only fit for a short time :) If you want to skip the whole baby thing and do the alternative, here are some websites with free carving stencils. Enjoy!
