This week it was pumpkin pie, made from real pumpkins!
We read a lot of pumpkin books this week and did an activity to go along with the book
How Many Seeds in a Pumpkin?
You can check out that fun in our stART post.

The whole "cleaning out the pumpkin" thing was very exciting!
Luke wouldn't touch the pumpkin pulp.
Kimmy washed her hands in the pumpkin pulp!
Place on a cookie sheet and bake in a 350 degree oven for about an hour, until the pumpkin is "fork" (or knife) tender.
Allow to cool enough handle and scoop out.
Get the pie crust ready. We used store pie crust since I was getting tired making pumpkin mash.
Smash that pumpkin---Gracie did a great job with this.
This recipe is for one 9 inch pie. We doubled this.
Pumpkin Pie
1 3/4 cup cooked mashed pumpkin
1 3/4 cup cooked mashed pumpkin
1/2 tsp. salt
1 3/4 cup milk
2 large eggs
2/3 cup brown sugar

1 1/4 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 tsp. ginger

She thought it was fun to use the pumpkin shell as her bowl.

The pies turned out beautiful. I bet they tasted beautiful, too!
I love how your daughter cracked the eggs into the pumpkin shell. My girls would think that is fun.
Thanks for linking up!
They are Beatiful and looks like your kiddos are having a BLAST!
Your pumpkin unit is amazing. You have inspired me. I read How Many Seeds to the littles tonight - and tomorrow we are going to scoop out and roast and count the seeds. You never cease to amaze me with your creativity. I may even try pumpkin pie - I did make pumpkin bread this weekend - but have never made a pie.
MMMMM.....they look so nummy.
Did you make the crust?
If so can I have the recipe? If not what kind did you get? They look reayy picture perfect. I may just have to try to make some myself. Or I just may have to put in an order for one of your homemade pies. hehe

Awesome pictures. Thanks for the recipe too. I've never made it with real pumpkin, but have always wanted to give it a try.
You've got to let me know how you do all that you do with 10 kids?! I am struggling with 4, but know I want more. When you have some time, I'd love to hear some input!
You're amazing!!
That looks so delicious. I love pumpkin an just about anything. MMM!
