The Case of the Mistaken Gourd

The following is a true story:

On a lovely Fall day, two members of team Doughten set out on a quest to decorate their house for the fall. Faith asked Aaron to go buy her a gourd at the market.  Having never purchased a gourd before, Aaron ventured out to retrieve said item, thinking it should look like this:

 

Unfortunately, Faith was thinking more along the lines of this:
 


Apparently the gourd in question was for a wreath and therefore it's description fit more appropriately under the category of mini-pumpkin (think circle) as opposed to a long, squash-like item, at least according to Aaron.

Thankfully, another "gourd" of the appropriate spherical shape was located and disaster was averted....this time
