All the pumpkins from the four plants we planted last May! Joel, Anna and neighbor Grace.
We will have jack-o-lanterns and pumpkin pie!

Friday, October 3rd was a Teacher Development day so the kids were out of school. Anna and I bought fabric and a poodle and made this skirt - she is not certain she will wear it for Halloween, but I told her to save it for her little girls! So easy - colored elastic to sew the fabric to!
Saturday Morning Joel had the first soccer game - 8:30 perfect for making conference at 10! Joel's team was aqua blue the other team green - very alike and hard to tell apart!
The other team had this fold up 'bench' - It made me think we would have gotten this for our family - or three of them!
I'm so envious of your pumpkins!!! I learned the easiest way to cook them last year is cut off the stem and poke a few holes and stick the whole thing right in the oven. Cook it for 30-50 minutes and carefully take it out and let it cool. Then it's super easy to cut right into and remove all the innards, then get the pumpkin meat. Puree it in a food processor or blender and use for delicious food. Plus you can freeze the puree to use for later. Like when you want to make Aunt Becky's amazing pumpkin maple cookies. I love you guys and your garden. :)
