Pumpkins

We bought a pumpkin before October even arrived. Every day since, youngest has demanded we cut it so he could eat it.

Um, normally one does not eat pumpkin raw. Not saying its bad or anything but it would taste so much better cooked. He did not believe me. Finally two days ago we got around to carving pumpkins to his absolute delight.

Well, kinda.

We cut it open and…one look in and he was NOT tasting that pumpkin.

He was not TOUCHING that pumpkin.

Still makes me laugh.

We had tears folks. Big, loud tears! Which I did not capture because I was busy consoling. LOL Poor guy. I do not know what he expected but whatever it was, it was not what he saw.

Finally, we got him to look at what his brother was doing. And then we even talked him into sticking his hand in there!

Did you know that to have fun gutting a pumpkin you must not have a shirt on?

And make lots of gross sounds.

Bet you didn’t.

ah, I do remember that age! Our son wanted to eat the pumpkin and did the same as your son.
Now, he begs me to buy even canned pumpkin and make his favorite-pumpkin bread, pumpkin pie, pumpkin chocolate chip cookies….

3 Kids, a dog, a husband, writing, running, cooking... Life in small town USA!

I thought I'd grow up to be a (single) career woman doing something in the wilds of places like Alaska. I like the middle of nowhere. :-) Oh and making oodles of cash of course. Too funny--how often do those 'ideas' actually pan out? LOL

So here I am, all grown up(maybe) :-) , a stay at home mom of three boys with a dog, a husband, neighbors and a mini-van trying to blend a bit of country life with small town city life. It's camping, gardening, cooking from scratch, fishing, with baseball games, water parks to tv dinners. :-) Add to that a love for running, photos, hunting, knitting, writing and reading--its a hectic life! But one I wouldn't change for the world.

Well, okay, I wouldn't mind if the hubby would let me add a chicken or two to the backyard. Oh and don't forget a couple of sheep--I could spin my own wool then for when I knit! Oh yeah, now that would be cool. :-) What’s that you say? There are ordinance’s against having live stock within city limits? Hmmm, maybe a privacy wall would work…
