Pumpkins, Pumpkins, Pumpkins

Halloween is only a week away and I can’t quite believe that I made it this long without talking about pumpkins…because I love pumpkins.  Pumpkins we eat:  

 (that’s my pumpkin stew)

at awesome pumpkin themed potluck parties.  Locally grown pumpkins

we carefully choose (sometimes by testing their worthiness as a seat) and bring home.

 Pumpkins perfect for posing with

and incredibly adorable pumpkins we wear.

For the first time, Nora had an opinion about what she wanted to be for Halloween.  Initially, I was sort of bummed that she thought of something as standard as a pumpkin, but then I realized it would be perfect because I can be a pumpkin too!  I finished sewing her costume about a week ago and it’s already been getting a lot of use, which is just fine by me, because Nora really does make the cutest little pumpkin.
