Pumpkin smash

Flex was very gracious to us and bought us two pumpkins over the weekend. Today we opened one up to see what this pumpkin was all about...

We took turns reaching into the pumpkin to feel the insides.

"It feels like gross"

"It's gooey"

"Squishy"

Then I carefully cut open the pumpkin and handed out chunks to each child.

"Can we eat the seeds?" one child asked. I explained we could but would need to cook them so we collected the seeds into a little pot for later use.

Ms.Lyss also suggested keeping a seed or two so we could plant them next year.

We all explored the pumkin's ooey gooey insides before cleaning up the pieces and heading outside.

Stay tuned for how we enjoyed the seeds.
