Halloween Festivities

Halloween in Kindergarten is pretty fun... the kids visited the local pumpkin farm, and then took their pumpkins home to do "pumpkin math" which included carving the pumpkin and counting the seeds by 1's, 10's, and 100's. Turns out our little pumpkin had 352 seeds inside. Who would have known? Penelope was really excited to eat the pumpkin seeds, and so when I completely burned them (Brett opened the oven and thought, "who left these coffee beans in here?") we had to carve another one! At least she's patent with her mother who can't cook worth a darn.
