After seeing countless pictures of babies in pumpkin patches (all of which I love, although I'm starting to be discontent about my baby free status...) I decided that I need some fall in my life. So I made this:
And this:
From this:
And mine was NOT the rogue orange pumpkin. They don't make good fall decor...
As I sit back and try to enjoy the rest of my evening, I realize I am missing some things today.
I miss:
1) America, in general. As I stopped by the video store and chatted with the girl in there about my ridiculous looking pumpkin, she looked at me, laughed hysterically, and said "You mean you thought pumpkins looked like they do in the movies?" I glared at her and said "No, not the movies. America." She said "Wait, you mean pumpkins really look like that over there! Wow..."
2) I miss my mother's Kitchenaid mixer. Mashing pumpkins and baking in general STINKS with no kitchenaid.
3) Canned Pumpkin. Enough said.
4) I think that this one is the most desperate. My mom. Specifically her baking. You're all thinking it, every time you bake. Mom would do this better. Both because she's more awesome, and because it means I didn't have to do it. Or the dishes. :)
That's all folks. Time to enjoy my pumpkin creations and watch a movie. Because in the movies, the pumpkins come from America.
