Lawton is at such a great age to really start getting into holidays. it has been so much fun to go to the pumpkin patch, take walks around the neighborhood and see the decorations on the porches, and carving pumpkins - i am excited for trick or treating tomorrow too!
my boys had requests. the daddy wanted a T for his beloved TN and Lawton wanted a spiderman since that is what he is going to be for Halloween.
we have never done a "fancy" pumpkin, so i was excited to see how jack was going to pull this off....
lawton thought the seeds were "gross" and i tried to roast the pumpkin seeds...
is there a trick, because they were terrible. i had to spit out the leftover hard seeds after i basically had more salt than seed......this was after i told jack what he had been missing since he had never tried them and i made a big deal about how good they were going to be. big fat FAIL.
the pumpkins however, are the bomb if you ask me--
jack did a great job!
happy Halloween from the Halls!
The pumpkins are the bomb! As far as pumpkin seeds go...I strain them as much as I can in the sink, then spread them on a cookie sheet. Sprinkle some olive oil and kosher salt on them and bake them for about half an hour. Adam sneeks pumpkin spice in there every once in a while and they still taste pretty good. I'm just simple and like the salt!
