October means Pumpkin Season!
Cali took this picture of my little boy Weston last year!
We have a little tradition to carve pumpkins for Family Home Evening at least one Monday night during October.
Have you ever baked the seeds? Here’s a recipe for it – if you want to try it this year!

I am 16 years old, I got my license about 4 mhnots ago. I pay $ 24 a month for fire/theft/collision and a 15K mileage cap. My deductable is $ 125. It’s a 100% stock and original, restored 1973 Volkswagen Beetle worth about $ 9K. I live in the dense suburbs of Fairfield County, CT. How I managed to get the rate and my deductable that low is beyond me. I have no idea at all. I do have antique plates, but I have a 15K mileage cap.
