Pumpkins

We went to a local farm thats in Ljubljana to get some pumpkins and got a nice surprise.  The farm has an annual pumpkin party where one can decorate pumpkins, buy pumpkins and eat pumpkins.  They had pumpkin salad, grilled pumpkin and a few other dishes that we were too late for.  The salad and grilled pumpkin were both very tasty!

What?!  You want me to stick my hand in this??

How 'bout with a spoon?

kinda squishy

Keenan upset because he wanted to use the knife.

Corn people...

This tomato was great.  All the little kids climbed inside and pretty soon we heard a bit of commotion.  Keenan was turning a knob inside and telling the other kids they were going to watch Scooby Doo (or something) one of the little girls was mad because she wanted to watch Dora and somebody else wanted to watch a different cartoon.  Come on guys, it's a pretend TV!

Pumpkin carving

Pumpkins are hard to find here in Ukraine so I asked my nanny a few months ago to keep her eye out and to please find me some pumpkins. Vera came through and we got our pumpkins! Yeah! Keenan thought pulling out the guts was great fun, after that he was bored and waited until we were all done and ready to light the candle to come back. These pumpkins had a sweet melon smell to them and some of seeds inside were sprouting.

Wah-la! Finished product. Good job Eric!
It took Keenan a little convincing to not sing the "Happy Birthday" song and blow out the candle.
