10.31.15 pumpkins

Halloween the time of the pumpkins! This year they were bigger and thus better than every before!


They were too heavy to move alone this was the group effort to get arguably the largest one in the house!


Or maybe this one was biggest. The flesh was more than 5 inches deep and that is a large bowl holding all the seeds!



So nice that the older kids are so able to do this project.  I mostly tended Afton and cleaned up dinner I had forced them to eat. My parents are great to join us on this tradition. The kids love the creative interaction with Papa and grandma Corn.


Aliza found a pumpkin match for Livy. It had curly tendrils coming off the handle. She had given a pretty severe haircut to Millie just prior to this, note her new bangs also courtesy of Livy the hair chopper!


Checking out the finished project!


Zombies?


Our more mature offering from Aliza- Boo! And thanks to the long warm wet October we made lots of pumpkin pie. Reed hauled about 50 sugar pumpkins up from the garden in wheelbarrows yesterday then began lugging them in the house this morning demanding some pie. He scrapped seeds and peeled skin off of steamed pumpkins. Then these hard workers squished the guts! We made 7 pies to share!


Happy Day of the Pumpkin!
