Shawn found them earlier this evening and started playing with them. He decided they needed to go for a walk, so he'd move them all over to the glass door in the kitchen so they could look outside, and then he'd roll them all back to where they started. He was talking for them and saying things the entire time. "Let's go for a walk, pumpkin. Come on. Let's go!" It was hilarious.
When Shawn was finished, he managed to get all of the pumpkins back to their original spot except one. He had forgotten the last one by the glass door. There it sat like he had left it with the blinds pulled back as if the pumpkin was looking outside.
A little while later, I brought Jack into the kitchen so I could get him in his chair for dinner. He stopped in his tracks when he noticed the pumpkin. He looked at the pumpkin for a few beats and then up at me. Finally he walked over to the pumpkin, and in a way that was as if he knew exactly what the pumpkin was doing in that spot, said, "Where you goin' punakin?"
I don't know what the "punakin" said back to him, but he reached down and patted it on the head before heading off to his chair. :)
