Parenting Without Borders

It's that time of year! What do you do with pumpkins?

We decorate with them and carve them. We roast the seeds. I have never attempted to cook or bake pumpkins. I always think I'll mess it up. I should really give it a try someday though.

 

From what I've heard, the pumpkins we carve aren't that great for eating, so don't feel bad about not baking them up :)

Hmm, it's been a few years since we had any pumpkins, but I do enjoy carving or decorating them. and some of my fondest childhood memories, specifically in preschool, were digging out the guts and roasting the seeds and then eating them. so much fun!!

DD#1's school held a pumpkin carving event..they provide all the stuff to carve it and then clean up afterward..can't get any better! As for DD#2 she's so little she's got no idea what's going on so we just got her a little pumpkin but didn't do anything with it which worked out because I ended up cooking it and making baby food for her and pumpkin seeds for DD#1 to try.
