While I was staying with my parents as the house was being painted, Mom and I went out to an orchard/pumpkin patch and picked out some beautiful pumpkins to decorate our stoops for the fall. I planned on carving ours before Halloween in anticipation of handing out candy to our first Trick or Treaters EVER. Yeah for home ownership :)
The evil squirrels had other ideas. They munch on the pumpkins for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Note the "crumbs" they leave behind - slobs!
I'm getting ready to toss those pumpkins in the garbage and replace them on Halloween with these suckers I picked up at Michael's and decorated today. I imagine plastic and styrofoam won't be nearly as appealing for snacking.
We'll carve pumpkins next year, but I guarantee there'll be no fresh pumpkin on our front steps until the DAY before Halloween.
I love the evil squirrel picture, I bet that's JUST what they look like!
