Pumpkin carving with two little helpers!

This year we had two little guys helping us carve the pumpkin....well daddy carved and they took out all the insides!  Sometimes I come up with these activities and they last all of 5 min.  Not this time, they played with this pumpkin for almost an hour!


They are at the stage where they love to "help".  Sometimes when they are bored and fussy I give them something silly to do, like a piece of trash to put in the trashcan or an item out of the fridge to take to Ryan and they light up feeling like they are helping and part of the process.

Graham kept handing me seeds and laughing cause they were slimy and slippery!








They even "helped" us make pumpkin seeds.  We used this recipe!  We cooked them a little longer than it says to make sure they were crunchy!

Ryan put all the seeds and seasonings in a container to shake around.....these two could barely wait their turn!!
"Shake, Shake, Shake!"
After naps Ryan made a HUGE batch of chilly!  I love this time of year when you can make a big pot of soup or chill and freeze it so when you come in late from the playground you still have a nice hot supper just minutes away!  The twinkies love white chicken chili and we are hoping Ryan's chili is another hit!
