Wilty leaves

Hi,

This is my first time to grow pumpkins of any kind.  I am growing AG's,
regular jackolantern Howdens and JackBLil's.  My problem, I think, is
that I live in Texas and it's been 100 degrees F for the past week.  I
water a lot, but it doesn't seem to make that much of a difference.  I
am scared that while the leaves look all wilty (they are okay in the
evening and early morning) they aren't going to be growing well. 
Sometimes, recently, I go ahead and water when they look wilty even if
the "hills" still seem dampish... am I going to kill them?  They don't
seem to be growing that fast since I transplanted them from containers.
You guys are all so knowledgable about this stuff... please HELP!  I am
really excited about them and I am dying for them to do well.  I have
heard that noone grows pumpkins is Texas... but that seems so unfair. 
Surely it's not impossible?

Thanks for any advice!!!!
