I showed you pictures of the BIG pumpkins we grew in our garden, but we also grew little pie pumpkins. (They were actually suppose to be carving pumpkins, but we picked up the wrong seeds.) My family got the bright idea that it would be fun to make a REAL homemade pumpkin pie from scratch. After much grumbling, consulting of older ladies and searching for instructions on the Internet, I embarked on the homemade pumpkin pie making adventure. I attached a picture of my son who agreed to help with this project. He helped cut up the pumpkin, scoop all of the insides out, cook it, scrape it from the shell, puree it, mix all of the ingredients, make the crust and then bake it. The end results were quite tasty, but I think it would be much easier to just buy a .79 cent can of pumpkin!

Hooray for doing it yourself! Remember, life's about the journey, not the destination. Your kids will never say things like, "Hey, remember when we bought that can of pumpkin and made pies?"
we just made homemade apple pie, although we didn't grow the apples, much less pick them. but we still made the crust from scratch. on the farm!!!
Way to go - what a fun "adventure" into the way life used to be....
