A Halloween trick

Mirjam mentioned this in her blog, but I wanted to write about it, too.

Last year in October I bought three pumpkins for a part of our Halloween decorations. One large pumpkin for me, one medium-sized for Mirjam, and one tiny pumpkin for the little baby nobody yet knew about. The three pumpkins sat in our living room for months next to the old chair--we never got around to carving them, and the drafty window helped keep them--but nobody ever caught on to the significance. I forgot about that until I read Mirjam's blog.
