My pumpkin is caving in.
Yup, exactly what you just read.
Not a euphemism for anything. My
pumpkin is actually caving in. I bought
all these pumpkins to decorate for fall.
When I was getting one out of the trunk, I knocked it on the side of the
car or something. I forget exactly what
happened. It made a little nick on the
pumpkin but I didn’t think much about it.
Until last night. I
had hung up a craft project, a present for a baby shower, to see how it would
look. I called my husband to come upstairs
and see my amazing handy-work. He
happened to look in the fireplace and notice my sad pumpkin, “Oh my gosh Mary,
what happened to the pumpkin?” Um…. As best as I can figure, the ding from
getting it out of my trunk eventually caused my pumpkin to cave in. Yup, so that’s what’s really happening at my
house.
I can’t wait to share my project! I made the most adorable bunting as a shower
decoration/gift for one of my good friends.
We are throwing her a baby shower on Saturday. So, it may be Monday before I’m back with
pictures.
Tonight it’s going to be a cake extravaganza at our
house. The town I work in does a big
Christmas to do and one of the ladies organizations is sponsoring Cupcake
Wars. I of course am participating. I’m making filled Black Forest Cupcakes,
roughly using this recipe.
And tomorrow is my school’s Veterans Day assembly and we’re
doing a lunch for all the veterans that attend so I’m bringing a pumpkin
cake. This is my absolute favorite
pumpkin cake recipe. It’s so easy. And delicious. And moist.
And it seems like a scratch cake.
But it’s a cake mix and a can of pumpkin. Magical.
It’s supposed to be a recipe for cupcakes but I almost always make it
like a sheet cake. Mmmm, I hope there’s
some left so I can eat it.
What kind of fall festivities are you up to? Anyone else have their pumpkin cave in? No, just me?
Okay. Also, I have eaten way too many Tootsie Rolls today. Ug.
