Fall: Carving Pumpkins

Cynthia(Nanny):
To celebrate Halloween, we carved a pumpkin. At first, they were a little scared to reach in and pull out the pulp, but after a while Big Sister was ready to dig in and get dirty. Little sister needed more convincing but was at least able to feel the gooey texture.


Arielle (mommy):
Last week the kids and I went over to our friends house to have a play date and we also cut open two pumpkins and roasted pumpkin seeds.

We had 12 kids digging into a large sized pumpkin and a small pie pumpkin.  They pulled out all the insides and separated the seeds from the pulp.  

When we finished both pumpkins we were all surprised to see how close the volume of seeds for the small pumpkin was to the much larger pumpkin!

To roast our pumpkin seeds we used coconut oil and sea salt for delicious results.

Rather than having 12 children carves the pumpkins, we let them paint them (with minimal arguments over territory).
