P is for making Pumpkin Pies

Obviously there are no picture of us actually making these because... well imaging making these when you are out numbered 7 to 1!  I knew I wanted to make pumpkin pies with the kids, but I was unsure of the best way to do it.  I did a lot of research into finding a simple recipe.  Most were no bake recipes with pudding or marshmallow cream.  I thought about going that route, but in the end I wanted to give them a real experience.  One preschool teacher made real pumpkin pies with the real recipe - it gave me the confidence I needed and decided to just go all in!  They opened their own cans, cracked their own egg, measured their own spices, poured it into their crusts (I cheated a little and did graham cracker crusts instead of pie crusts).

Didn't they turn out great!!  Kids are amazing!
