Skippyjon the pumpkin

I remember making a pumpkin that looked like an alien baby, who I think was named Bleep for some reason, with my mom when I was in elementary school. I was secretly looking forward to Emmy being in school so we could do the pumpkin challenge. The kids were required to create a pumpkin that looked like a story book character. Emmy picked Skippyjohn Jones. We went to Hobby Lobby and she decided what materials to use, she was actively engaged in painting the pumpkin and making the first ear. She even told me under no circumstances was I to TOUCH any part of the pumpkin without her being there. Then I bet you can guess what happened. Yep, I made the rest of Skippyjohn. I swear, next year, it's all her!
