Looking for some help

Thanksgiving is coming up in six days now and I am hoping to host a sort of mini-dinner for friends here. I don't care what we eat, except I would really like to make a pumpkin pie. There are several obstacles, however. First, I can't find pre-made pie crusts at Carrefour. I know, I know, I could make a pie crust from scratch, but that would require buying massive amounts of ingredients (flour, for example) that I won't use again. Can I substitute pre-made crepes?

The second potential problem with the pumpkin pie plan is a complete lack of pumpkin in any form: No canned pumpkin, no fresh pumpkin. I think sweet potato pie tastes a lot like pumpkin pie, and sweet potatoes are easily available. Any good suggestions or recipes? Keep in mind that I have almost zero cooking tools and just a toaster oven.

Second, I need some help coming up with worksheets for my students. I design my own lesson plans and I expect to need pages on animals, food (fruits and vegetables), family, and activities. I'd prefer that they would be black and white outlines, and therefore colorable. Meredith and I have both looked for resources on the internet and found little or nothing. If anyone knows of any good online resources or has anything to send electronically I would be really grateful.

Finally, I need a job for next year. I can be picky about the prospects later, but if anyone hears about any job openings that I might like, please let me know!
