We don't celebrate Halloween at our house, so Edward has never carved a pumpkin. In science we have been learning about seeds, flowers, plants and trees. So during the second week of November, we cut up a pumpkin, so he could see the inside of a pumpkin and help to to expand on his knowledge of seeds, plants and so forth. I know that he had a blast doing it. I unfortuantly got busy and we didn't get around to baking the pumpkin or roasting the pumpkin seeds and I had intended. However at Co-op during our recreation meal of the First Thanksgiving from 1621, he was able to taste both of these items the way that the pilgrims would have made them back them.
