Once again, my son set super high expectations for me. He had been waiting all year for "pumpkin season" (in fact, I almost bought a watermelon during the summer just so that we could paint it). So, after all of the anticipation, there was no way he was going to forget about pumpkin season and let me blow off having to decorate this year.
He requested a Cocky pumpkin. Last year we bought a real pumpkin and made an Elmo pumpkin. It rotted pretty soon after we made it, so this year I refused to put that much work into a pumpkin that was just going to rot. So, we went fake this year and I don't regret it at all. My mom sent Beckett money specifically for the pumpkin patch since she knew how excited he gets about it.
We did go to a real pumpkin patch but we bought Kaki a fake pumpkin from the other pumpkin patch (Michael's Craft Store). He decided to decorate and surprise Kaki by mailing the Cocky pumpkin to her house to show his appreciation for the pumpkin money (although, after it was finished he wanted to keep it for himself). We did keep the smaller Cocky colored pumpkin that he decorated for our house.
This is what he had in mind for Kaki's pumpkin:
The end result:
Last year's pumpkin:
