Thumpin', Bumpin' Pumpkin

Question: If I mention the word "pumpkin", what's the first thing that comes to your mind? Pie? Jack-O-Lantern? Roasted pumpkin seeds? If your name is Micah Peterson, this is what you think of when pumpkins are the topic...


Thumpin'...



Bumpin', Rollin'...

Pumpkin!



We found this funny book at the library,

and it changed his whole idea about what a pumpkin is for. So, we bought him a "pie" pumkin, and this has become his favorite activity. With his best friend, Justin...

(Do you think we might need safety goggles - or is this just the lastest in fashion accessories?)


with the cat...

and with a truck.

Bet you didn't know a pumkin could be this much fun, huh? If you get the chance, sit down and enjoy "The Runaway Pumpkin". Maybe it'll change you pumpkin ideas, too.

Oh, one other daily occurance since reading this book is the question, "Are you making pumpkin pie today, Mom?" I think this is going to have to be the year I finally bite the bullet and make a pie for Micah. This could prove to be interesting - my idea of baking a pumpkin pie is going to the freezer section at the store.

Gonna have to go to the Library and find that book! My kids are excited to read it now that they see Micah playing with his pumpkin! Not sure if I should say "thanks" or not =0)

I love it! We'll have to get the book. Samuel keeps asking to watch the video with the pumpkin and truck.
Chris is growing up fast!!! What fun to be in high school. I, too, would not want to relive those days.
Love what you did to the blog.

farewell

Until next time, friends!
