Poomkeen MaMa

Mari-Grace LOVES Halloween !!!!
She picked out her pumpkins at the pumpkin patch a couple of weeks ago.  Luckily, they survived until we could get them carved.

She begged me every day for a week to "Open Poomkeen MaMa".   To which, I responded, not yet, it'll ruin !!!   Well, on Friday night, we opened that pumpkin.   MG loves to squish the pumkpkin guts, and actually did very well scraping them out.   Funny thing was, MaMa had the camera, so Aunt Kelley was in charge of cleaning off the pumpkin seeds.   MG was slinging guts faster than Kelley could keep up!   Greg laughed, he says she'll probably clean her own dears in a few years.

Kaleigh B came over on Sunday, and we gutted some more orange monsters.   It was so much fun to listen to the girls giggle while squishing around.  The pumpkin was big enough they almost couldn't reach the bottom.  

As for the pumpkin seeds .... well ... they turned out charred ... smoking ... and almost on fire.   OOPS ... moral of the story is don't forget to set the timer, especially if you are multi-tasking !!!
