Sheww, this was a busy silly day.. Soccer was canceled so we took our extra time this morning to create festivities that were fun for the whole family.. Hubby even had some fun and we all ate some good food...
If you don't know what Silly Apple Pumpkin Day is, read all about it here!
Started with Vegan Pumpkin Spice Pancakes:
And apples for breakfast:
Then on to carving Mr. Pumpkin... Which we all took part in... Our silly Pumpkin had three faces... And he was the silliest best Veg House pumpkin of ALL Time:
Veg's Face:
Hubby's Face:
And My face with the Silly Apple Nose:
Then a shot, with Mr. Pumpkin near a Mirror, shows all three faces at once.... He was a very Cool Mr. Pumpkin:
The seeds.... Ahhhh the seeds....
We started with a Seed Shooting contest... Which I lost in a big way... Those suckers can fly when squeezed between two fingers, I tell ya! I used the muffin tin as a target, and Veg was the only one to make a shot.
We then started shooting the cleaned ones down the hallway and trying to hit different doors for our targets... It was messy I tell ya! But Hubby was the fastest and best seed shooter in the house.
Then it was time to Cook them seeds.... We did three different coatings... A Parmesan and Italian seasoning version. A Vegan Worcestershire sauce version, and a Cinnamon/sugar/all spice version....
Oh My Yum!! They were tasty. Baked at 350 for 12 minutes.
We did some Bobbing for apples, Even Spunk joined in the games...
Played spin the bottle (with paint not kisses).. Filled the bottom of a small recycled bottle with orange paint, and then secured the lid, and rolled back and fourth.
We played a game that if it touched a person's leg then you were out. So had to keep it rolling.. Lots of fun...
And made this cute little pumpkin head with craft paper and stickies...He was cute, in a creepy kind of way.
We Gutted an Apple, to make an awesome Carbonated Apple Juice Cup... Veg and Hubby thought this was the coolest thing...
On top of all our home fun events... We went to a friend's church festival to help her celebrate a birthday.. There was a bounce house, which lead to the bloody lip of said friend *sigh*... And Potato Sack races, Bobbing for apples the sanitary way (catching them from a stick), Pumpkin Painting, and much much more.
By the way, I LOVE this tree... nothing to do with Silly Apple Pumpkin Day, but I'm just sayin' I love this tree!
And its orange... Very Very Very Orange.... I'm putting in this pumpkin day post! So there!
We went out to dinner for yummy veggie food and their famed Pumpkin Pie (with carrots added in..)
So there ya have it... Darkness and quiet has come over the Veg House and Silly Apple Pumpkin Day has come to an end... A Success? I think so! *smile*
Don't forget to change the clocks tonight.. And we get an Extra hour of sleep in the Morn...
OH - and I planned to make Candy Canes, based on the crisis mentioned earlier this week. But Veg was happy with his Vegan no dye Lollipops and said he didn't want candy canes. Shewww!!!
I think each year this Silly Apple Pumpkin day gets better and better!!
Hope you had a great day where ever you may be!
