Spiced Pumpkin-Gingerbread Waffles

My apologies, this one is a little late.  It's more of a fall recipe, but I love it all winter long and my boys LOVE these, they don't care what time of the year it is.   I don't know if Jon is a big fan, but the kids and I LOVE them.  They cook up so big and fluffy and they're really filling.  One waffle goes a long way.
