Pumpkin Carving

Here's some pics of some pumpkin carving we did on Monday night. Rory carved the big pumpkin (the howling wolves) and I carved the small pumpkin (spider & web) It was pretty fun. I haven't carved pumpkins for a long time.Probably not since living with my parents like 6 or 7 years ago. So it was nice to revert back to my childhood and be creative. Ethan wasn't too into it. I think it was to slimy. He doesn't really like touching different textures. Especially when it's wet. Maybe next year he'll be more into it.

Farm Fun

Yesterday we decided to get out of the house, and go to a little farm that's in our town. They have animals there that you can feed, and pumpkins to pick. We figured Ethan would be in heaven so we bundled up and headed out. We got there and got the food to feed the animals, and the first animal we came up to was a couple of big turkeys. Ethan kept poking his finger out, and we were worried it would get bit. We gave the turkey crackers, then headed on to the next, which was the pigs.

The pigs weren't so nice though. Ethan again put his finger in the fence, and one of the pigs bit it!!! I couldn't believe it. I didn't know pigs bite!? Anyhow, it was a little tramatizing for him, but he got over it as soon as we headed over to some other animals. We saw chickens, ducks, geese, sheep, goats, turkeys, rabits, some dogs, horses, and a mule. It was great feeding them. I think Ethan's favorite was the horses.

When we were through feeding, we got a red wagon and headed out for a pumpkin. Ethan loved the wagon, and didn't want to get out. I tried to get some cute pics of us in the pumpkin patch, but Ethan wasn't cooperating, and was just throwing a fit to get back in the wagon. But we found a pumpkin that was just Ethan's size.

It was great spending time on the farm. It made me really miss living in the country! I think the picture of Rory and Ethan is the best one of them all. They had this old swing, and of course Ethan couldn't balance on it, and wanted off, but it was still super cute.

Our weekend

I just thought I'd post a couple pictures from this weekend. Here's Ethan and Daddy. Rory had given Ethan a chocolate ice cream sandwich. Yummm. Ethan enjoyed it and bunch, and we got a good laugh afterwards with the mess he made on his face!

Later that evening Rory gave Ethan a bath while I cooked dinner. After Ethan got out and was dressed, he went back into the bathroom, and got back in the tub. FULLY CLOTHED!! Actually, I think he was reaching in for a toy and fell in, but if he fell, wouldn't his hair be wet?? It's a mystery to me. Next time we'll have to remember to drain the water!!!!

Lastly, (this is the same night) Rory was running around playing with Ethan, and went to hide in our bathroom. When Ethan went running to get daddy, he ran right into the corner of the door; leaving a nice little goose egg on his head. This picture doesn't show it that well, but it's the only on we got. It's on his forehead. The next day there was just a bruise line. Poor boy! (or should I say typical boy?)

Finally he went to sleep, wore out from the sugar, cold water, and bump on the head. Finally at peace, and no other risk of injury. lol

Bathtime

Okay, every mom has naked pictures of her babies, because we think that our kid is just too adorable. I am no exception to this. So of course I just had to post a couple pictures of Ethan that I took recently while he was in the bath tub. He's really funny now with taking a bath. He never wants to get in, but once he's in, he's pretty happy there.

Then here's the picture after the bath, when he's all squeaky clean. He loves getting out, and having me wrap him up tight in the towel. Then he's happy to just cuddle up to you for a few minutes. I LOVE IT!
