The Making of Elizabeth the Mad Jack O' Lantern



Colin really got into helping dig out the pumpkin boogers and seeds as we "cut up the pumpkin's face". I had drawn several pumpkin faces on paper and let him choose. He wanted a mad pumpkin, so Mommy obliged. Colin even drew on hair and ears with a marker. Then he added lines to his own hands and said, "Look Mommy, I'm Iron Man". I realized too late that it was a permanent marker and not one of Colin's Crayolas.




Once it was dark Daddy lit the jack o' lantern. He asked Colin what he named his mad pumpkin. Colin replied, "Elizabeth".
