Wednesday night - Pumpkin Prep

Wow - what a treat getting home - and having dinner - before 7 every night. There's so much I can do around the house and with the kids. And its not so late that I can't have a glass of wine with dinner (and one after...). So civilized.

Late last night, after our Shopper's Drug Mart run, Ev and I bought 3 pumpkins - 99 cents each at No Frills! Aren't we the 'recessionistas'?!?

Tonight Leah and I started working on our pumpkins. This requires great planning, concentration and power-tool prowess.






While Abba was blasting and we were carving, Evann was reviewing Dad's homework help on the whiteboard,

and studying hard.
Hey - is she on her phone????


The final tally:
two pumpkins hollowed out;
1 jack'o lantern;



and some pumpkins seeds that will sit in salt water for a few days, then get toasted in the oven. One of our favourite treats.



And the best part? We get to do it all over again tomorrow night.
