We had a great fall weekend. Saturday morning I was unloading all the junk from the back of my car so I could load with a more junk from my errands. As I was stacking the soccer chairs, Husband made a comment about being a soccer mom.......ooops.....SOCCER! Will had his final soccer game that morning. After a quick glance at the clock, we realized we had 45 minutes to get over there. The kids were still in jammies. (It was going to be a jammie day after all.) While Husband showered, I loaded the soccer stuff back in the car. I filled water bottles and got the kids dressed. Whew hoo, we made it.
During the game, he scored a goal. He was so cute. He glanced at us on the sidelines and did a little snap. The he pointed at us with the biggest grin on his face. It is a wonder these shots turned out, I was laughing so hard.
Once the game was over, he got a trophy. He has been carrying that thing around all weekend. He wanted to sleep with it, but I was afraid he would poke his eye out!
That afternoon we carved pumpkins. Each of the kids drew a face on a piece of paper. Husband did the carving. I just can't imagine letting a 4 and 5 year old use a knife. I did the cute little flower one. It is one of the few times I use a drill.
Now, I am toasting the seeds....pepitas if you call them that. A little olive oil, a little salt....bake at 250 degrees for an hour or so. Yummy! I have seen a couple of recipes that made sweet ones with cinnamon and sugar. I have never had them that way. I did save a few to try that way though.
Overall, the weekend was great...I even got to sleep late today. That is a great weekend!
Happy Sunday, y'all!

I'm glad you had a great weekend and that you got to sleep in. I, unfortunately, woke up at 7 am this morning. No reason. Grrrr!
Love the pumpkin pic! Who did the one in front, right? Adorable!
janet- that one is Will's pumpkin. He wanted his to be scary! Livi's is in the back right. There are two more on the other side of the steps, but I couldn't get them all in the same frame.
I do not like it when I wake up early on days I don't have to!!
Wow, love those pumpkins!
I have made a "brittle" out of the seeds - Nigella Lawson recipe - other than that, I usually have them savoury also.
I am glad you remembered soccer in time, a shame to miss the last game!
The flower pumpkin is sooo cute. Great idea.
He looks so proud of himself! Congrats on his goal!
Oh, and I LOVE LOVE your pumpkins. So cool!
Will's expression is priceless! I'm glad you made it to the game on time. That is a hectic way to start the weekend. So glad you were able to sleep in yesterday! :)
I love your jack o lanterns. we did one yesterday, and I sucked at it. LOL Sugar wanted to help sooooooooo badly too. She just poked holes in hers. LOL
I laughed out loud at Action Jackson calling you a Soccer Mom, then realizing you had to get to Soccer. that's so how I would be.
((hug))
Your pumpkin seeds sounds so wonderful
Yay for Will!!! And he wouldn't have wanted to disappoint his camera-crazy mom ..that's why the cute snap!!!! :)
