We even toasted the seeds. The inside was perfectly hollow and clean, but the poor thing still died three days later. And since we carved it about 11 days before Halloween… Uh… Yeah. Sad end for Tobias.

According to the wisdom of the Internet, the moment you carve the pumpkin it starts to lose its natural moisture and then dries, curls, cracks, and a couple of days later, starts to grow mold and attract fruit flies (yum!). We tossed it at that point.

And definitely go to Pier 1. I want to go again. :)

(and now you have me wanting to go to Pier 1…)
