Walking to School

I love walking the girls to school in the morning.

Before that time, there is usually yelling and shouting.

From me:

“Brush your hair!”

“Put your shoes on!”

“Why don’t you even have your socks on yet?”

“IT’S TIME TO GO! WHYDOYOUSTILLHAVEYOURPAJAMASON?”

From the girls:

“I DID brush my hair!”

“I can’t put on my shoes if I don’t have socks on!”

“DID YOU MAKE MY LUNCH YET?”

Once we get out the door, I have one little girl on each side of me, holding my hand.

We talk about the day ahead of us.

We talk about the weather.

We talk about anything at all.

I wish we lived just a little bit farther away.

(Except then we would be late for school.)

Fresh Pumpkin Pie

This year, Lily, Emmy and I decided to bake a pumpkin pie using real pie pumpkins instead of pumpkin from a can.

Whole pumpkins, baked for 40 minutes at 375 degrees. I just love their color!
Pumpkin innards
Lily enjoyed scooping out the pumpkins seeds!
Emmy….not so much.
The skin peeled off of the baked pumpkins very easily!
I pureed the pumpkin in a food processor attachment that came with my blender.
After I pureed the pumpkin, I made pumpkin pie as usual! Delicious!

Have you made fresh pumpkin pie before?
