HALLOWEEN

I was so proud of the boys for making their own jack-o-lanterns this year. Tony helped clean them out, but they all made their own designs. Here's Colton's...
Asher's.....
Kyler's.....those orange things sticking out are his "ears"
That's what Kyler says.....and if Kyler says it....it must be true!!!
Inspired by my neighbor....I decided to roast the pumpkin seeds of all three pumpkins.
After taking them out of the orange innards, I washed them...
Aren't they looking clean?!
Then I spread them out on a cookie sheet, sprayed them with a little vegalene, sprinkled some herbamare on it, and baked them. They turned out so good.....we couldn't stop eating them! Thankfully I still have some left. I'll be sprinkling them on top of some butternut squash soup in the next couple of weeks. YUM! Now if the weather would get out of the mid-90's I could really get into fall!
Do you roast pumpkin seeds? What fall traditions are your favorite?

you've reminded me that I need to clean out that pumpkin sitting on our porch before it's too late! We never did make a jack-o-lantern this year even though we meant too. Yours look great, the boys did a fantastic job!
