David's Pumpkin Bread Recipe

Today was baking day.
I love baking days.  So does David.
And today was a glorious day for fall baking....67 degrees, windows open and oven on.  Hmmmm.
We made items for the older kids to take to school for their Thanksgiving feasts tomorrow.

Charlotte is taking a pumpkin roulade with ginger buttercream.  Beautiful!

Peter is taking two dozen giant Foster Market sugar saucer cookies.  Delicious!

Claire is taking pumpkin bread for her teacher and a special packed lunch for her friend Jacob.  This second grade tradition is precious.  The students draw names and fill a special decorated container with a lunch for their friend.  They enjoy their lunches picnic style on the playground tomorrow.  I think Claire's turkey box turned out simply adorable!  Inside will be all of Jacob's favorites!!!

Back to pumpkin bread.

One of my favorite preschool prewriting activities is to take dictation on short stories that accompany art work.  Or having kids write a recipe.  So today David shared his recipe for pumpkin bread.  It's a winner!




DAVID'S EXTRA SPECIAL PUMPKIN BREAD

1.  Get a big orange pumkin from the store.

2.  Baba can cut the top off but he needs to be sooooo careful.  The knife is big.  And Claire needs to stand back way far!

3.  Take mommies bread and put it in the pumpkin.  Put some eggs and some milk and stir it.  Put in some butter too - 5 pieces.

4.  Put the pumpkin in the oven and make it real hot.  It can be hot for 5 minutes.  When it is done, you can eat it.  But I don't like pumpkin to eat.



David, you are the cutest punkin' ever!!!  Thanks for being my kitchen helper today!
