Old pumpkin seed sprouted, now what

When I was starting some flower & early veggie seeds I ran across 2 pumpkin seeds from a seed packet marked for the year 2,000. For giggles I went ahead and planted them in a couple of 2 inch starter pots. One has spouted and a vine has just started growing. It has been warm here but we can have a freeze until mid-March. I've never grown a pumpkin before. What should I do now? Should it go in a bigger pot indoors or go outside with a cloche? What say you?

I think I'd just keep on growing inside it until it's safe to put outdoors...yeah, a larger pot when you need to...
