Ethan is 3 1/2 now and finally seems old enough to really be interested in some of our favorite holiday traditions. In past years we've carved pumpkins but he's mostly just run around or watched. This year he was so excited to help cut the top off and make a "hat" and then he actually scooped out his entire pumpkin. He especially loved banging his metal spoon on the metal bowl.
Taylor did most of the carving but Ethan picked out the design and insisted on having a "skeweton" face. My mom also sent us a kit with plastic scary eyes to stick inside and they actually make the pumpkins look really neat. Tragically our pumpkins were too small and the eyes started to melt from the heat of the candles.
It was great to see Ethan really enjoy the experience. He's so enthralled by the pumpkins here that he wouldn't even look up to smile for the camera.
