season over??

Well gang, it appears that my season is over before it started.  I did the wet paper towel method to start the seeds.  When I first saw roots, I put them in pots with started soil, added some water (all 7 germinated).  I put my 3 chosen ones on a protected heating pad.  When there was a slight observation that they might break the surface, I put grow lights on them.  By this time two others died.  Then each day one more would die until I had 2 left, which appeared to be doing ok.  Yesterday I determined that the last two had died.  Although they had good color, they had wilted.  I started my last 3 seeds in the paper towel and will direct sow them once roots are formed.  

What the heck went wrong??????  Did I add too much water to the started soil?

Now I have to face everyone's questions on how the pumpkins are doing.  I am shamed and frustrated.
