Pumpkin...vegetable or fruit?
This morning Jimmy and the girls transformed our pumpkin into a jack-o-lantern. As they were working away, I wondered...,"Is a pumpkin a vegetable or fruit?" Jimmy was unsure, so I went to the trusty internet to search for my answer. Technically, because it has seeds, it is a fruit. So is a tomato (which I knew) and a cucumber (which I did not know). Did you all know that?? Or am I the only uneducated one?

I am like Rebecca, pumpkin guts are gross, especially when they squish between your fingers...lol.
Cute pics!! They did a great job!
You are a great teacher girl! I had NO idea! Looks like they all had a blast!
Ha!!! I love your question. I attended a workshop called Food, Land and People this summer. It is all about farms and the importance of local food. One of the activities is called "fruit or veggie?" We used pictures of various fruits and veggies and hoola hoops. It was a relay race to place the fruit or veggie in the right category. Many of us guessed wrong on some, so don't feel bad.
Looks like you had a great time.
