'Tis (not yet) the season - but I'm practicing...

Call it "nesting" or whatever -- I'm feeling a little Betty Crocker these days. So I enlisted some moral support on my journey...

The boys liked cleaning out the pumpkin and playing with the insides... until Malachi actually tries a bite!! (He refused to eat any of the finished pie after that point.)

I love the boys' expressions and as I look at these pictures, I am comforted that God didn't hold out on me in giving me boys -- instead of girls. The boys enjoy the same aspects of cooking that I enjoy: the grossness of the raw ingredients and the sheer heaven of eating the finished product. :)

I must explain the naked toushie shot of malachi... He had brought in his own chair to the kitchen when I wasn't looking and snuck a taste of the left over apple batter for the apple pie! (we've been sort-of attempting some potty training, so he's very often in this form around the house these days.)
