We started our learning chapter on Pumpkins yesterday and learned that they are a fruit...never knew that! Love the pictures! Peace to you!
Love 'em!! What a fun time with the kiddos.
My hubs loves to eat the baked seeds. Kids and I, well, we pass:)
Are those the two that you carved? They turned out great!
What GREAT carved pumpkins!
What fun. We don't do that over here, don't have that many pumpkins and I love the so much.
I might come over to live at your place during the fall and enjoy all the good.
The kiddo's did a great job.
Love the outcome.
Hugs and have a blessed day Dagmar
