Audrey's school had a mini-pumpkin decorating contest the week of Halloween. The theme of the contest was "Reaching for the Stars". Here is her entry...
This pumpkin man can do it all! Read a book, walk his dog, and hold his stars! I'll confess, I might have suggested the reading theme. But the dog part, that's all her!
She was a little nervous about submitting her pumpkin to be judged. As we were making him, she asked, "Do the judges only look at the pumpkin or do they count behavior when they pick the winners?" I am not certain whether the behavior criteria would help or hurt her, but she seemed to think it would help.
After three days of nervous waiting, she was announced as the winner at her Halloween party. Her judging group included the three-year old class, four-year old class and Kindergarten. She really put those preschoolers in their place!
Here she is receiving her prize... 
What's in the bag? Candy and a $10 gift card to Target! We headed to Target on the Sunday after Halloween. Oh my! It took longer to spend the card than to make the pumpkin!
Here are her carefully shopped for treasures...
A ghost pillow (half-price after Halloween!), a stuffed dalmatian and a Hello Kitty puzzle. Definitely worth it.
