"Aw, I didn't know you were going to kill it!"

I really think Derek finds this process a little disturbing. He must be a "fruitarian"... for those of you who have seen the movie Notting Hill. Anyway, he usually hides until the massacre is over, then reappears for the candle lighting at the end. Let me just add that raw pumpkin should be cleaned up immediately. I still have a couple of spots where the pumpkin may be a permanent part of our tile floors now. Also, wet Life Cereal has the same properties. I'm going to rent a jack hammer to get it off the floors. I'm thinking it could have a use in the space program or something...
