That is ok. We used to buy ours as well. But now that my kids are older they like to help. And believe it or not I won't eat store bought pumpkin pie. It just tastes different when it is homemade.

My little twist is that I reuse my jack-o-lanterns each year. We don't carve our jack-o-lanterns until 10/31, and then when we're done with them I cut them into pieces and pop them into the oven at 350 degrees for 1 to 1 1/2 hours. When the pieces are soft, scoop out the pumpkin meat and then use a blender or hand mixer to make it smooth. Then you have fresh pumpkin for baking and pies.
One variation that I tried once for pumpkin pie was to put blueberries in the pie filling. The berries spread out and it's a good combination.
