Attem Avenue was a weird place where there was NO GRASS, barely any trees .There was a green house. The owner’s name was Lauren.
Lauren was 28 years old had one child named Lindsey. Lauren speaks Italian, but not much English, she had long blonde hair. Lauren was a widow.
Lindsey was a girl with long curly blonde hair. She was 7 years old but Lindsey spoke perfect English not much Italian. She goes to Dipson Oak Elementary School.
Lindsey had a field trip to the Roseville’s pumpkin patch.
Lindsey had to learn a lot about the biggest pumpkin in the world. Halloween was coming up, that’s why.
When Lindsey got to the pumpkin patch she found out the largest pumpkin weighs 911.27 kg and that it takes 105 days for a pumpkin to fully grow.
When Lindsey came home from school she asked her mom “Mom, tomorrow can we go to Roseville’s pumpkin patch.”
Lauren said “Yes.”The next day Lauren woke up extra early for a surprise.
When Lindsey woke up she went down stairs and she didn’t see her mom. So she decided to go back to bed. A few minutes later Lauren came back.
She called Lindsey and said that she had a surprise for her. But Lindsey had fallen asleep. So Lauren let Lindsey sleep a little more.
Lindsey woke up and wondered if mom was back?
She saw a pumpkin on the counter, it was huge and it looked really rare.
“MOM!” Lindsey yelled.
“YES!” Lauren shouted.
“What is this huge pumpkin doing on the counter?” Lindsey said.
“Well when I came home I yelled out your name and said I had a surprise for you but you were still sleeping” Lauren said.
“When I had woke up you weren’t home so I went back to sleep” Lindsey said.
“Oh, but I guess you already saw the surprise I got you” Lauren said.
“Yes, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you,” Lindsey said giving Lauren a big huge hug.
10 days had passed. It was October 30.
“1 more day till Halloween.” said Lindsey.
Lauren and I went to the store to buy Halloween costumes and Halloween decorations on Sunday. When they got home they put up the new decorations. The house looked dark and scary.
Lauren decided to bake a pumpkin pie because Lindsey decided not to put the big scary pumpkin outside. Lauren got a knife to cut the pumpkin. It began to glow but Lauren hadn’t seen it.
When she lowered the knife it grew even brighter.
Lauren got scared so she yelled out,” Lindsey!”
Lindsey came quickly and jumped.
Lindsey was scared. She got a large and sharp knife and she stabbed it into the pumpkin.
The pumpkin just shrank and it turned into a mini pumpkin.
Lindsey was scared at the moment but, she knew that it was Halloween tomorrow. She was worried that she was going to dream about the pumpkin.
Lindsey slept great. She woke up and ran downstairs, and had her breakfast. She went to school dressed as a dark angel. She had the scariest, but greatest Halloween ever.
