Punkin Patch

I went on my first field trip as a mom yesterday. My son's daycare took them to the Pumpkin Patch in Clanton. I went to be with my son on his first field trip but ended up being mommy to 24 kids. I did however think ahead and took my own car, so as soon as they were ready to leave I hopped in my car and sped off. I had fun riding on the hay ride and helping all the kids pick pumpkins and watching Pooh Bear run and play with his classmates. I was just enjoying the day, when this bastard of a yellow jacket swoops down and stings me right in the jugular. Ya know, the big fat vein that runs down the side of your neck. Yep, right in that vein. Now my neck is all swelled up and itchy. I can't go anywhere without being attacked by some flying pest. Oh well. I did get 2 really nice pumpkins out of the deal. We gutted them and carved them up for our viewing pleasure. I got the idea that I would make a pumpkin pie with the guts, but I called my mom and she put the idea in my head that I could poison my family if it wasn't cooked right. Yeah, I really don't want to take the chance of killing us with pie. DEATH BY PIE! I can see the headlines now. Too weird for me. I'll stick to the pumpkin in a can next time I get a hankering to make pie.
