[Lyla] Too Many Pumpkins

Hey, what's going on?

Time to replace the pumpkin and gourd display.

Why?

Because, our fall pumpkin squash extravaganza has come to an end.

Why?

Because, the season is over.

I've spent a whole month making butternut squash.

Pumpkin soup.

Parmesan Squash.

Pumpkin muffins.

Whipped squash.

And pumpkin spice everything else.

Yep, now it's time to move on.

But...I LOVE the pumpkins and squashes!

I've even named them!

Say what?

Here's Jehan, Leanna with an “e”, Ruth, and Crescent...

Trina, Utkarsh and Genie.

Lyla, sweetie, we can't keep the pumpkins here forever.

What if I keep them?

And do what with them?

I'll collect them and um...take care of them!

Please, Dad!

Pretty please with butternut squash and pumpkin spice on top!

[sigh] Okay, Lil' Loops, you can keep them... for now.

[gasp] As many as I want?

Well- [Lyla] -Yay!

[clears throat] Attention, please!

If you have any pumpkins or gourds you were gonna get rid of,

bring them here to Lyla's Pumpkin Donation Station!

C'mon Stu, let's take all the pumpkins and squashes to my room!

[trills]

Goodnight, Jehan.

Goodnight, Leanna with an “e.”

Goodnight, Ruth.

Goodnight Crescent.

[yawns] I'm sleepy, can you speed it up?

Oh, okay.

Goodnight Roxana, Astride, Llacey, Carleton, Trina and Utkarsh and Genie!

Hey, what about me?

Oops, sorry.

Goodnight, Lukey!

Goodnight.

Hey... what's that noise?

Lyla! Lyla! Lyla!

Huh... who... wha?

That pigeon is trying to get your pumpkins!

What! Shoo!

[trills]

Leave my pumpkins alone!

[trills]

I'd better move these.

Yeah, before that pigeon breaks the window!

Ha!

Can't get to ‘em now, Pidgie! [blows raspberry]

[blows raspberry] [trills]

Lyla, honey, can you come down to the diner for a minute?

Sure, Dad. Be right there!

Whoa!

Where'd they come from?

Hey, you started Lyla's Pumpkin Donation Station...

girl, you got donations coming out the wazoo!

Yayyy! More pumpkins and gourd-geous gourds!

C'mon Stu, let's take ‘em to our room!

[trills]

[trills] [gasp]

That's it! There's way too many pumpkins in here!

Hey Stu, Loops alarm!

LOOOOOP! LOOOOOP!

Lyla, the quickest way to SOLVE a problem is to admit there IS a problem.

But I don't have a problem.

Girl, yes you do.

You've got a serious pumpkin-problem!

My pumpkins are NOT a problem for me.

Well, they are for me!

How?

They're crowding my trains, blocking my way,

and makin' me have bad dreams about giant pigeons pecking into our room!

I can't take it anymore!

NO MORE PUMPKINS!

Alright, alright, alright, calm down.

There ARE too many pumpkins and gourds in this room.

Yeah, so what are you gonna do about it?

[gasp] Can I put ‘em in your room?

Nu-uh!

Puh-leezzee!

Not for all the pumpkin spice in the world, girl!

Lyla, we can add a few to the diner's compost can, but sweetheart,

you've got to come up with a plan for all these pumpkins before-- --they rot!

No!

And stink.

Stink?! Oh no!

Nooo!

How can you say that?

It's reality, Lil' Loops.

They're going to spoil sooner or later.

But...

[gasp] What if I decorate them or make them useful?

Then, the people who donated ‘em might want 'em back, right?!

I don't know...

Puh-leezzee!

I'll put ‘em all in the storage room and work on them there.

Will you help me?

Oh! Decorating pumpkins could be fun.

True...we can carve ‘em and paint 'em!

Yeah!

Let's set up shop in the storage room!

Me too, I wanna help!

[gasp]

[trills]

[sigh of relief]

Great job everybody!

The gourds and pumpkins look awesome.

When we set them up in the diner, everyone will want ‘em again!

There's just one problem.

We still have so many!

What if we run out of ideas.

Yeah, like we ran of paint!

Then we'll come up with more ideas.

We just need to think outside the box.

Hmm... [trills]

Hmm...

Ummm....

Hmm....

[gasp] I've got it!

Mr. Ramsey, our history teacher,

has two gourds on his desk, that were made into maracas!

He shakes them to get the classes' attention.

Chickee-chickee-chickee!

Yeah, we can make maracas and other instruments from gourds.

Great idea!

I'll bet there's lots of videos online that'll show us how.

I found some stuff we can use to make instruments.

Rubber bands, string, and fabric.

Just don't make a piccolo.

Or a trombone.

We've got those covered.

Can I make this one into a drum?

Yeah!

It's the perfect size and shape.

[laughing] [trills]

Thanks Stu, these are the perfect size and shape to be maracas...

[trills]

...once we hollow them out.

Let me show you.

First, we make a cut at the top of the gourd, like this.

Then, we use a spoon to scoop out all the insides.

When we're done, Dad can dry them out in the oven.

Once they're dry, we can fill them with seeds to make maracas!

[trills]

[struggling] Ah!

So cool!

We made a gourd guitar and gourd maracas...

And don't forget my pumpkin drum!

So, what do we do with ‘em now?

MC Lou has a great idea.

Now, listen up...

Hello everybody!

Lyla's Pumpkin Donation Station has a treat for you.

Ready?

Born ready!

Count it down, LiLi!

One-two-three-gourd!

♪I GOT THAT GOURD SHAKIN' RHYTHM, TO DA BEAT OF PUN'KIN DRUMS,♪

♪I RAP ALONG WITH ‘EM, HERE THEY ARE, GETCHA SOME, C'mon!♪

♪THEY PASSED DA SELL BY DATE, PUMPIN' BEATS TO DA SONG, SO DON'TCHA HESITATE,♪

[clapping and cheering]

If you'd like to have some of our beautiful pumpkin and gourd art and instruments,

step right up and take your pick - for free!

[trills]

[sigh]I can't believe we gave out all those pumpkins and gourds.

I know my sick rhyming skills helped.

Hey!

We ALL helped, Lou-Lou.

I know, but I'm just sayin', MC Lou made it happen for you!

[Lyla] [sigh] What's the matter, Lyla?

Aren't you happy?

Yeah, I just wish I'd kept at least one or two for myself.

Uh, Lyla, can you come with me for a minute?

Yeah.

[gasp] What happened?

I guess the word of your Pumpkin Donation Station

spread and spread and kept on spreading.

What in the PUMPKIN-PALOOZA?!

Mm-hm.

Whatcha gonna do?

I don't know yet.

Well, there might be someone I could talk to tomorrow.

Okay, but until then...

[whispering] Huh? Seriously?

[gasp] Lyla...

OOH!

Lyla...

[efforts] Lyla...

[efforts] Lyla...

[humming] Poppa loves popcorn!

Hey, hey, whoa. Yo!

[sighs] Lyla...

LYYYYYYYLAAAAAAAAAAAA !!! [trills]

I didn't mean to take over the house with pumpkins.

I just wanted to put them away safely until I figured out a plan...

and now with Jia's help - we have a plan!

I checked with some friends who run a farm here in the city--

--And THEY agreed to compost pumpkins and gourds into farm food for the soil

which could become more pumpkins

or corn or wheat or apples or oranges or anything you can think of!

Even Oaty Zappers?!

Well...they can grow into oats to make cereal, like Oaty Zappers!

Coooool!

So, the farmer is on his way with a truck to pick up the pumpkins and gourds.

All we have to do is take ‘em to the loading dock.

Okay!

Mos def. / Okay, yup, yup, yup./ Yay!/ Let's get it!

Goodbye, Dave.

Goodbye, Laurie.

Goodbye, Joon.

Goodbye, Monique.

So long, Sam.

Nice knowing ya, Nermeen, Amon, Anne, Veronica, Catie, Jordan...

Huy, Jensenne, Vanessa!

Farewell Nansi, Andrea, and Mac.

Adios, Luis and Juan...

Goodbye, Lyla!

Goodbye, Lyla!

Goodbye, Lyla?

Hey!

Where'd everybody go?

[Mom] If you clean up, then we can go to the park.

The Maybe-Sitters

[mumbling] WHADDUP WORLD?

YOU HEAR WHAT I SAY?

I'M A WINNER - ERRY-DAY!

Mom!

Can you buy Brucey-Woosey a bigger fishbowl?

He needs room to swim.

Ooh, Mom, if you buy that for Brucey, could you buy me a drum machine?

Did you two know that you could EARN money to buy the things you want?

Umm...huh?

I think they call it a... [gasp] "a job."

Who's gonna give us jobs?

Yeah, we're only twelve.

No one has to give you a job.

You two can be entrepreneurs and start your own business.

For real?

Yup!

I started my FIRST business when I was twelve.

What kind of business, Mom?

I called it "Party Pals."

[laughs] People would hire me to decorate their kids' birthday parties.

I made five bucks a party.

Lili, if Mom could do it, then we should, too!

Let's start a business.

Yeah, and we can use the money we make to buy whatever we want!

Yeah, girl!

[laughs] Yes!

Loving this twin-trepreneur vibe you girls got going on,

but I gotta go help Dad in the diner.

Keep an eye on those three, please.

Okay, Mom.

Whoa-oof!

Can me and Stu have a snack?

[trills]

Sure, come on.

You too, Lili, we've gotta figure out what our business should be.

Right behind ya, Loulou.

Hey, I want a snack, too!

We need to figure out what we're good at.

And what we like to do.

Here ya go, Lyla.

You're good at making cereal.

And peeling oranges.

And being twins.

And taking us to the store.

Or to the park.

And watching us when Mom and Dad are working.

Taking care of y'all is easy.

And fun.

[gasp] What?

I got it!

We can start a babysitting business!

Babysitting?!

Yeah, we've been watching Lyla and Luke since forever.

And we're good at it!

And we like doing it!

And since we're twins, they'd be getting two sitters for the price of one!

Or we could charge double for our trouble!

Uh huh!

I like the way you think.

[gasp] Uh- Hey, LOUISA!!!

What?

Oops!

Hey Stu, here's your cereal!

[trills]

Ouu, let's go tell Mom our idea.

We're gonna be babysitting twin- treprenuers!

I don't know girls...

But we take care of babies all the time.

Hey!

I'm not a baby!

Wheeeeee! [trills]

What if we took care of bigger little kids?

Yeah, like one-and-a-half-year olds.

You mean toddlers?

Well, they are easier to look after than newborns,

but they still need a lot of care.

They sure do.

What do you know about it?

I've been watching Mom and Dad take care of Luke all his life!

And we've watched them take care of you and Luke all YOUR lives.

Yeah!

We have twice the babysitting experience.

Then, prove it!

How?

I know... I'll teach Stu how to be a toddler

and you can take care of him to show you're ready to be babysitters.

Did I hear babysitter?

Mmhmm!

I sure could use some help taking care of Makayla,

while I'm busy grading papers. [trills]

We can do it, Mr. Ramsey!

Hold on now...

First, they have to prove they're ready to handle the responsibility,

and then we'll see.

Okay, I'm rooting for you!

See you at school.

Bye, Mr. Ramsey.

Bring on the test, Lyla!

As soon as we teach Stu how to be a toddler, we'll be ready!

[struggling] Okay, let the toddler training begin! [trills]

First, we'll show ya how a toddler acts at snack time!

Hey Stu, Lyla's the toddler, watch what she does.

Here comes the oatmeal!

No!

[trills]

Hey Stu, catch!

[trills]

Thanks, Stu.

When you're a toddler,

you should only eat if Liana and Louisa make it a game.

[trills]

Like this.

Chugga-chugga! Choo-Choo!

Open the tunnel wide and put some yums inside!

[laughing] Nom, nom, nom.

And that's how ya do snack time! [trills]

Toddler test number two!

Sometimes toddlers throw a fit and you don't know why.

But you have to figure it out!

[fake crying] What's the matter, Lyla-poo?

[Lyla] [fake crying] Are you hurt?

No-hurt!

Do you need a hug?

[trills]

No-hug!

Are you sleepy?

[Lyla] [yawning] That's it.

Little Lyla, you're sleepy!

Good job, Luke!

Get it, Stu?

[trills]

Great. Now, on to test number three!

Okay Stu, now we'll show you how a toddler acts when it's time to go to sleep.

Right.

First, you have to bounce around like you don't want to go to sleep.

Go to sleep, Little Lyla. Okay?

No-kay! No-kay! No-kay!

I'll sing you a sleepy song.

♪Twinkle, twinkle little Stu,

♪taking a nap is good for you.♪

If they sing you a sleepy song, or tell you a sleepy story, then you go to sleep.

[yawns]

And that's how you act like a toddler! [snoring]

[trills]

Now we're ready to give Louisa and Liana the toddler test!

If they pass all three, they'll be ready to be toddler-sitters!

[trills]

Oooh, doesn't Stu-wee-poo look so cah-yoot in his diapa-wipa.

Yeah, but if you don't stoppy-woppy

with the baby-waby talk, I'm gonnapukey-wooky!

Alright Stu, remember how a toddler acts in each test, okay?

[trills]

Okey-dokey, test number one.

Go!

Looks like someone is hungry!

[trills]

This is SO good Stu, watch!

Mmmm...

See, they're super yummy.

Don't you want some too?

[trills]

He won't eat it!

Hmm...Wait, I've got an idea.

[whispering] Oh yeah...

I remember Dad used to do something like that for Lukey.

Let's try it.

♪HERE COMES THE TRAIN ROLLING DOWN THE TRACK,♪

♪BETTER EAT YOUR FOOD OR IT WON'T COME BACK.♪

♪OPEN YOUR MOUTH, OPEN WIDE, SO YUMMY FOR YOUR TUMMY WHEN THE FOOD'S INSIDE!♪

♪CHOO-CHOO!

[trills]

Yay, we got him to eat!

And you pass test number one!

Test number two! [trills]

...is the test gonna start soon?

Yeah, toddler Stu seems fine.

[trills] Whoa, he's loud!

No sweat. [trills]

We got this. [trills]

Who's a good Stu? [trills]

Who's a good Stu? [trills]

No more crying? [trills]

Chill, please, CHILL OUT! [trills]

I got it! [trills]

Toddlers love peek-a-boo! [trills]

Sit him here. [trills]

[trills]

Peek - a - boo.

[trills]

Peek - a - boo.

[trills]

Peek - A - BOO!

[trills] Why'd you do that?

I thought it'd make him laugh. [trills]

I give up!

Me too!

But you didn't check to see what's wrong!

Luke!

No helping!

Oops!

Okay, yeah, that's right.

Mom and Dad always tried to figure out what was wrong...

Do you have to go potty?

Are you hungry?

Is something hurting?

[trills]

Oh! Are you...tired?

[trills] [yawn]

Aha!

He's cranky 'cause he's tired.

Oh snap, he needs a nap!

They figured it out!

This is your final test: putting a toddler down for a nap!

Good luck.

You're gonna need it!

[trills] [grabbing efforts]

[trills]

Hey Stu, stop bouncing!

It's time to lay down Stu.

Hey Stu, lay down...please.

[trills]

[trills]

Stu, you have to be quiet so you can fall asleep.

[trills]

[laughing] Now what should we do?

Remember that story Mom used to tell Luke to put him to sleep?

"Quiet Town"...

Yeah...

Once upon a time there was a quiet town.

A town with no noise.

A town with no sound.

Clocks didn't tick.

Crickets didn't crick.

Rivers didn't ripple. [trills]

Raindrops didn't plickle...

[trills]

How's Lyla's toddler test going? Shhh!

We passed the snack test.

The crying toddler test.

AND the nap time test!

So, now we're certified.

Well, does Lyla agree?

I'm pretty sure she does.

But you might wanna ask her later, look.

[snoring]

Congratulations toddler-sitters!

Toddler Time Twins is open for business!

Yes, good job, girls.

Woo! You did it!

Hey, can we be your first toddler- sitting customers?

[gasp] Of course, Mr. Ramsey!

Yeah, we love little Makayla!

Peek - a - boo!

[giggling]

Peek - A - BOO!

Oh, Louisa! [crying]

I thought it'd be funny? [crying]

Nu-uh, girl. [crying]

Nu-UH! [crying]
