the pumpkin update

So you may have been wondering what we did with all the pumpkins we brought home from Bundaberg? Well it turns out they were much more sought after than we thought and we ended up with only one left for us here at home.

We took one around to Shan's brother's house and little Noah was there. He didn't really know what to make of it so he kinda touched it with his foot.

Then he sat down and played with the end for a while.

Then he realised it was awesome fun to push it really fast across the bench.

But the most fun was definitely pretending we were cavemen and and the pumpkin was a club. He really liked that!

With nowhere to put 10 pumpkins at home we kept them in the car until we could deliver them. At work last week I mentioned I had pumpkins and suddenly everyone wanted one.

Here's Erika cradling her pumpkin baby. He has her eyes.

Not content to have just any ordinary pumpkin baby, Erika decides her pumpkin is actually Johnny Depp reincarnated.

Unfortunately I didn't get photos of everyone with their pumpkins! But from those who did take them feedback has been positive. Several soups have been made and eaten and I know we've had it several times this week - roasted AND steamed. Thanks Grandad!
