Well the story starts with my girlfriend Tracy. She has laughed at me the past two years because at Christmas time I seem to still have our pumpkin on our front porch. Last year, I threw it out once she brought it to my attention... but this year when Erin and I were taking all the Christmas decorations down... there stood our pumpkin at the front door. Tracy has made threats that she is going to kidnap it! I told her I was going to see if it would last until next fall. So the kids and I decorated it for Valentines Day. I can only imagine what people think when they come to the door and see a painted pumpkin. I have since decided I will decorate it for each holiday.
