Poor pumpkin saw. You never had a chance.

A story through pictures...

Twin B: "Holy crap! Mom is giving me some sort of cutting instrument. Grandpa would be proud. Why am I wearing this ONE glove? Am I turning into Michael Jackson?"

Twin A: "Eeew. This is like, so gross. Pickles!! What are you putting in my hair?!"

Twin B: "Mom, take the damn picture. My face is gonna get stuck like this (*note* 3 yr old does not actually curse....yet)."

Pickles: "Hey pumpkin, come here often? How's about I lick you all over?"

Pickles: "If a big sister and a pumpkin are pushed off the table at the same time, which one will hit the ground first?"

Pickles: "Mom, you said you did want me to dump the pumpkin seeds all over the place?!"

Me: "Dude (sometimes referred to as the husband), why is your knife broken?"

Dude (Smiling smugly): "Girl, my muscles are way bigger than yours. Not my fault the knife couldn't handle it."

Me: "Oh, thanks for clearing that up. You owe me ninety-nine cents."

True story.

P.S. It was recently brought to my attention that not everyone knows you can toast and eat pumpkin seeds?! Is this possible??

Anyway, it's super easy: Preheat your oven to 325 degrees.

Rinse your seeds, remove all the yuckies (aka pulp). Spray your pan with some non stick cooking spray and spread in a single layer. Throw some salt on 'dem bad boys and pop 'em in for 25 mins. Stir after 10 mins.
