Pumpkins of Doooooooom!
We carved pumpkins today after rescuing these monsters from a local pumpkin patch. Once they were opened, and seeded, I got easily 10 pounds of pumpkin once I pureed it all. I made a few loaves of pumpkin bread today, but I see pumpkin soup, pumpkin bars, pumpkin cookies, and probably pumpkin ravioli in our future. We’ve got pumpkin, oh…yes we do. 
Here’s Boy and Pumpkins.

May I suggest pumpkin cheesecake??? I have started making that at Thanksgiving and it is a huge hit. I will try to find the recipe for you if you are interested.
Oh yes! I love, love, love pumpkin cheesecake!
He persists in getting bigger. I ask you, who told the children this was allowed???
I know! And…he still wants me to pick him up. Which, I mean…good lord.
we definatley need to get the kids together, if nothing else, so you can show me how you carved those awesome pumpkins!!!!
My little guy thinks it’s fun to hug me, then lift his feet off the floor and hang. Oooh, my back.
There should be a rule, after 30 pounds, no more hanging on mommy like a mammalian xmas ornament.
Much easier than you might think. You’re welcome to a copy of the template.
Although, I think I started too early. They’re shriveling a bit. I put petroleum jelly on the cut parts today, so hopefull they’ll last till halloween night.
