Pumpkin Story

Howie had an assignment from school to decorate the pumpkin and write a story (mom writes it, he makes it up) about it. We did this last month but an apple was the topic. (It was very short last month. He drew the apple running and his story said "Run, run as fast as you can, you can't catch me, I'm the Apple Man.) We cut out scrapbook paper to decorate his pumpkin. His story was pretty cute so I wanted to share:

"Once there was a Halloween Jack-O-Lantern that was very spooky. If you tried to eat it, pick it or touch it, it would bite you. One Day a boy picked it while it was asleep. He took it home to his garage. At night, the pumpkin came to life and broke down the garage door. He wanted to bite the boy who picked him. They boy was sleeping and then he bit him. The boy turned orange and grew a green stem from his head. The End. Mmmuuuuuhhhhhaaaaa"

Really, that last spooky halloween cackle/sound is really written on his paper. We don't know if that is how to spell it so you know what we mean, but hope you get the point.
