This weekend we decided to kick off the Halloween festivities by carving a pumpkin. Ethan loved touching all of the gooey insides of the pumpkin. He got restless very fast though and left mommy to finish the rest.

This was my first time to carve an elaborate pumpkin. It took a long time but it was so much fun!

The finished product! Ethan loves for us to light it up at night. I think he was a bit confused at first because he belted out the Happy Birthday song the first time it was lit. He's learning that candles aren't only for birthday cakes.

Ethan went to a jungle birthday party this weekend where he received this cool mask as a party favor. He is crazy about lions and tigers!
