Pumpkins!

We picked our first 2 pumpkins on Saturday!!

I have really enjoyed watching our pumpkins grow! I've never grown pumpkins before so it was a new and fun experience. Madilynn has enjoyed it as well and likes to help me find them in the garden and let me know if they're turning orange. Elizabeth has even spotted a couple and pointed them out. Two of our smaller pumpkins were ready to pick...
After taking some cute pictures with the girls (of course), I had to bake one on Sunday.
Cut it in half all by myself!

scooped out all the guts - seeds...

Put them in the pan and baked them for about 45 minutes...

So I could make 2 loaves of pumkin bread! We have loved it!!!

It took half of the pumpkin to make 2 loaves. So half of the pumpkin was about equal to one can of pumpkin - I won't be buying any of that this year!! I have lots more recipes to try, and plenty of pumkins to keep me busy! Not to mention the butternut squash that's about ready to pick too!
