Pumpkin Murder - It happens in the Best of Families!

Halloween

If you have been following the adventures around here you know we bought 2 of the now famous Blue Pumpkins for baking and an Orange one for the kids to Carve.

My wife cooked up one of the Blue Pumpkins, carved it out, pureed it.  There was enough Pumpkin in it for 12 Pumpkin pies, 3 large loaves of Pumpkin Bread, Pumpkin Soup, Pumpkin Pancakes, some Low Carb Pumpkin dishes for me, and we still have some left.

But the little wolverines disquiesed as children wanted to get to that big orange one.  So we did.  I handled the knife work.  But I was told he had to have an angry face and a "Cheese" eye.  Now I was not sure what a "Cheese" eye was so the 5 year old drew it on the Pumpkin for me.  I think a "Cheese" eye is a side ways triangle that looks like a cut of cheese.  So we have one Cheese eye.

Tonight we are taking them to the Halloween Party open to the Community at Cornerstone Christian Center.  They will have face painting, petting zoos, bounce houses, rides, shows, and trunk or treating for candy.  They are living under the delusion they will be allowed to come home and keep big bags of candy in their bedroom.  Are they in for a surprise.  No doubt tonight my wife will be searching it and clearing it of "Dangerous" stuff; dark chocolate, licorice, Sugar Babies (or anything with Carmel), Candy Corn, and Coconut Products.  I would be helping her but alas I am on a diet.   They will get the rest of it doled out slowly.

Thank you for sharing your pictures with us. Looks like a great fun time for your family.  I had never heard "Pumpkin Murder" before. That's cute.

Gene,

 

Intersting! If a pumpkin got murdered at your house, d you have to disclose this to a potential purchaser?
