Burning Pumpkins

This afternoon I asked Gavin to throw away the jack-o-laterns.  They were shiveled and moldy.  It was time for them to go.  He was a bit sad until...
I wish he would have asked me first.

 I was a bit surprised to see smoke in the backyard.  I guess I trust him with fire.  He has had experience in Scouts and camping.  But still.

 

It looks a little freaky.  The inside ended up charred, but it didn't burn completely; still too moist.  Well, I've been told we have a new Halloween tradition.  All the kids loved it.
