We bought a cute purple TCU pumpkin that was painted by volunteers at my daughter's school. We've had it outside on display for a while but the back of it started rotting. I was hoping to get a video of my husband trying to carry it to the trash bin while it disintegrated in his hands for this very reason, but he did it while I was at work. It would have been greatness. Or sad. Really, really sad. Hopefully next year, our team isn't going to be anywhere close to being symbolized by a rotting pumpkin. A girl can dream.
