Pick Your Pumpkin

At work we have a pumpkin contest going on. Each of the rooms created a pumpkin and now they're on display in the hallway. People can put money in a jar  next to their favorite pumpkin and the one with the most money will win a pizza party. The money is then donated to a local charity.

Anyway, the pumpkins are all so cute that I just had to share them. Besides, even though ours is cute it won't win. Why?

Because even though the pumpkins are labeled with numbers instead of what room created it, the older kids will tell their parents what pumpkin was from their room and their parent's will then put money in that container. I'm guessing our babies can't speak and tell their parents which pumpkin is from our room. Not to mention the fact that winning a pizza party would entail me and my co-worker Laura pigging out on pizza by ourselves while sharing with the 2 munchkins that can eat table food.

I keep calling it "our" pumpkin, when in reality all credit goes to Laura and her crafty and creative mom. I'm just pretending like I had something to do with its cuteness.

Anyway, I'm going to post them and not say which one is ours. Your job is to tell me your favorite to least favorite. This is just a vote for fun just because I want to see different people's views. I'll tell you  which one was ours in my next post. I won't be offended if you rank ours low either...although I'm biased and think its pretty cute! They're all adorable though.

A view of the whole table


The Tin Man



A Penguin (It's hard to tell, but it has black felt "wings" on each side too)


The Fall "Snowman" (Also..you can't see it well, but on one arm a sign says, "Welcome Fall" and the other has a bird perched on it.)


A Dalmatian


The Rainbow Fish (based off of the children's story)



Cinderella's Carriage
