The kids helped me for a while, which means they were allowed to take sticks and hammers and take shots at the pumpkin. Once they had their fun, we opened it up. I have to say, this is one of the most revolting tasks I have ever undertaken. I've cleaned up a lot of messes in my life, but nothing compared to this.

The bottom was paper thin in spots. I couldn't figure out where the problem came from, but it has been an abnormally warm fall. I started to gather seeds, but I almost lost my dinner a few times, so I only got about 50 or so. Many seeds were too far gone to salvage.

I guess I know which pumpkin is going to Smoky! 2 more days until they are loaded up.
