Early Jack-O-Lanterns

I bought some pumpkins for pie in September. The Girl got a hold of them. Now there is no chance they will ever be turned into pie, which might be a good thing since I’ve never done it from scratch before, and didn’t really know what I was doing anyway. But still. It was weird having miniature Jack O Lanterns on the porch in the middle of September. Now it’s October and I have to buy pumpkins all over again.

Was I being wasteful to let her do it?
