Pumpkins

I know... 3 posts in one week! You can't keep up with me. I'm even posting this Food for Thought Friday ON FRIDAY! That's big. But I'm just talking about food today, so, no recipes. Anyways, please don't judge my weed-stricken garden, but I just had to show you how beautiful those pumpkins are. That big vine is all ONE vine, or ONE pumpkin plant. Huge, huh? It means I'm well on my way to my dream of being a pumpkin farmer, right? I get so excited every time I see them out there. It means that fall is coming! And Halloween! And after that, Thanksgiving and Christmas! Yep. I'm definately excited for the holidays.

I picked the first one 2 days ago. It is beautiful! I have all sorts of pumpkin pies, pumpkin bread, pumpkin pancakes, pumpkin____ planned. This variety is supposed to be good for eating and carving. I like that it is so useful since it takes up so much room in the garden. Anyways, I will cut into it this weekend and let you all know how it tastes. I can hardly wait.

And to end this post, let me tell you about Emma. In this picture she is holding my cell phone to her ear saying, "Ellow? Loodle leedle doodle do!" She is so funny and already tries to talk on the phone! I promise, I really don't talk on the phone that much, she must get it from Randy. =) She has also started "walking" and has taken 5 GOOD steps from me to Randy, him to me, and to the couch, etc. She doesn't always walk, but is pretty good at it when I set her up and encourage her. She also says, "tankyou!" and "uh oh!". Kenadi told me today that now Emma is HER baby. I told her that Emma is her sister, and Kenadi asked me, "When can she be my baby?". We are enjoying our sweet girls.
