The Albino Pumpkin

On Sunday, I found the perfect squash.
It was just the shape to stand in as a pumpkin
and only cost me an 8th of a pumpkin.
(Remember, the only pumpkins in Costa Rica cost 16 dollars.)

Except it was white.
So we called it the
albino pumpkin
.


Bear thought it was heavy.
She liked looking inside it.
She did not like scooping out the "yuckies."
But she was fascinated by the light coming from inside.

The next day, we roasted the seeds.
Bear had never tasted pumpkin (squash) seeds and loved these too.

  6. I like the white pumpkin (squash)! :-) My kids loved pumpkin carving this year and are very disappointed that I had to throw the pumpkins out the other day.
