God our Father, we thank you

Looking for a way to use extra pumpkin from pie and cookie recipes? Put it in your oatmeal with cinnamon and brown sugar and raisins. I think someone could make a lot of money if they would sell 1 cup cans of pumpkin, but I am happy to have the leftovers as it is now. That's our Blessing Bowl in the background (thanks Pollacks from last year). Any time during the day someone thinks of something they are thankful for, you can tell everyone and go drop a kernel of popcorn in the bowl. We'll pop it on Thanksgiving. It is fun to watch the habit of thanksgiving being formed in all of us. I should be writing down some of the things the kids say - zoo keepers (Joseph), reading with mommy (Olivia), special treats (Olivia, of course). There have been funnier ones, but I can't remember them at the moment.
