Knowing that I like to roast pumpkin seeds, someone gave us two pumpkins that were damaged (and would therefore rot quickly) so that we could extract the seeds. Today was a beautiful fall day, so I cut open the pumpkins and proceeded to fish out the seeds. Some nearby "helpers" stopped their play and came to see what I was doing...they decided to give it a try. Jay did great: he was a big help. Daniel and Julia were not so found of the (as they called it) "slop" that you had to dig through in order to get to the seeds. I don't mind the process. I love the smell and even the feel of the inside of the pumpkin...it reminds me of childhood.Oh, and by the way, the seeds taste great!

slimy pumpkin guts and fall leaves..... and autumn becomes official!
I'm glad you enjoyed the seeds. That last statement sounded like your ode to dough. I miss those times.
I also love to dig through pumpkins every fall and bake up the seeds. How lucky you are to have someone who thought of you with their damaged pumpkins.
You have a beautiful family. I absolutely love the picture of your children by the tree. Very fun.
