With Mike leaving next Wednesday (:() for 23 days, we are starting our Halloween festivities early this year. Halloween is one of both of our favorite holidays and we are so sad to miss out on another one together this year! But we know next year will be the last Halloween we are apart for the rest of our lives! Hooray!!! Anyways, we decided to try something new this year that Laura has always been wanting to do, make HOMEMADE pumpkin pies! We bought special smaller "pie" pumpkins and found a great recipe with pictures online, and started making it tonight! We are just working on the puree tonight, then we fridgerate it for 24 hours and finish it off!! Anyways, since we havent had a whole lot to update about lately, thought we'd take some pictures of this fun!!! We'll take more at the pumpkin patch this Saturday, I cant wait! And of course we will be watching Charlie Brown and the Great Pumpkin, a Laura's mom and sibling tradition!
We hope God is showering you with blessings this Fall season!!
Mike "gutting" the pumpkin! He was a lot better at it than me!
The pumpkins before we scorched them!
And After! Now I just have to wait for them to cool off and then we will puree the insides! We'll let you know how they turn out!

COOL! Post pics when you have them made! Fun! Did you throw out the seeds??? Brian would have been mad about that. I just bought a pumpkin, just for the seeds! They are soooo yummy cooked. We are going to get pumpkins soon with the boys. They are gonna be Marion and Luigi for HAlloween this year.
Thanks for updating :)
oh... we are watching that movie tonight and doing a pumpkin crafty thing with the boys :) Don't forget to watch the Garfield one too... another one of Brian's Halloween favorites.
Go Mike and Laura! What ambition and enthusiasm! Yes, post pictures of the pies. Save those seeds!
Mike, we were wondering when you were leaving....waaaaaahhhhhhh! :(
YAY for homemade foods!! I love the Autumn quotes by the way! :) But we love you guys more ;)
I am sorry Mike has to go. I am glad that it is not a long trip. Is his brother still there?
I hope your pumpkin turned out great. We have a homemade pumpkin soup that we make around this time of year using fresh pumpkins. They are a pain to peel and cut, but yummy once cooked.
