Remember all of the fun of last year’s Circleville Pumpkin Show? Well, it’s happening times twelve this year, ’cause Kamran’s coming, too!
He lived on the north side of Columbus from 2nd to 4th grade and somehow had never even heard of the Pumpkin Show! You guys, it’s THE GREATEST FREE SHOW ON EARTH. Now, Kamran was a little scared when I warned him about all of the toothless and the morbidly obese people he was going to see, but then when I told him that we, too, can become morbidly obese on pumpkin burgers, frozen pumpkin cheesecake, pumpkin milkshakes, pumpkin whoopie pies, pumpkin fudge, and pumpkin corndogs, he was all in.
Apparently half of the states of Kentucky and Missouri are going to be staying with my dad and stepmom this week, so Kamran and I have the pleasure of spending it at my best friend, Tracey’s, house. Which means more Cheesecake Factory, more cat pictures, more visits to the abandoned Chi-Chi’s, and more tubs of cookie dough consumed in their entirety at 4 a.m. than ever before!
Plus, now that I have a DSLR, there will be more faux-artful photographs of pumpkins THAN YOU EVER THOUGHT POSSIBLE!
Thanks to Mrs. Bachelor Girl for having this printed and mailed to me this weekend!
Such a thoughtful way to feed my narcissism.
Am I the only one out-of-my-mind excited about this?

I love pumpkins SO MUCH. I wish we had something like that near here. Eat lots of pumpkin things, and please take picture of them all with your fancy camera!
The Guy has sworn to me that at least one of our vacations in the foreseeable future will involve the Circleville Pumpkin Show.
I will feed Harper so much pumpkin, the child will turn orange.
Pumpkin burgers?! AND frozen pumpkin cheesecake?! I’m so jealous I can hardly stand it. Suddenly the pumpkin mac and cheese I just made seems a little less awesome.
Whoa! How do you make pumpkin mac and cheese?!
Like this!
Ooh, thanks! That looks incredible.
Hey Katie! I just searched for Circleville Pumpkin Show to check to parade route for this afternoon (baby parade with Kaydence) and your Unapopogetically Mundane popped up on the first page! Can’t wait to see you and meet Kamran. The weather today is lousy! Love, Aunt Brenda
I want to go!!!! I want pumpkin burgers and cheesecake!!! So jealous.
Fortunately we’ve been to two country fairs recently or I’d be seething w/ jealousy. Yup, had my fill of cigarette smoke and heavy petting. As if there were a limit.
Have fun!!
I wish I loved pumpkin. I once did as a kid…but now, alas, I don’t. But, I do love pumpkin seeds, so that has to count for something. Plus, I haven’t hacked off an appendage carving the damn things…so there’s that.
Please please please tell me you tried the wine slushies!
WHAT. Tell me you’re kidding.
I had a Mountain Dew slushie. Which was great, but it was no WINE SLUSHIE.
Nooooooo! How could you have misssssed it?! It was little frosty bits of heaven slush in a cup. Seriously. Mine was red wine.
