Virtual Birthday Party

Today we had a virtual birthday party for Evan. :) It was fun watching him open his presents with family looking on over the computer. Thank goodness for technology!!! Thanks for all the great gifts Grandma and Grandpa Thompson, Mike, Michelle, Kate, Steven and Rachel!

Kung Fu Evan

Evan's Kung Fu Panda costume arrived today and he LOVES it! He still loves this movie and his favorite stuffed animal is his panda, so it's a perfect match! :)

Carving Pumpkins

Tonight we carved pumpkins and we had a lot of fun. Evan would not touch the gunk from the inside of the pumpkins. I guess this shouldn't be too big of a surprise since he doesn't like his hands to be dirty. He called the pumpkin seeds "green almonds" and the inside part cheese. :)

It was okay to touch the outside, but only with one finger.

Getting ready to start.

Contemplating if he wants to touch anything or not.

"Scooping" out the inside of the pumpkin. Really he was just swirling the spoon around in there, but had a great time doing it!

No way am I touching that!

The pumpkins ended up being frozen, so it was quite a challenge to get all the stuff out.

Evan checking out Mommy's pumpkin. When the lids was on he said the lights were off and when the lid was off, he said the lights were on. Clever boy!

Just smiling like usual.

Our pumpkins out on the porch. I did the little one and Gary did the big one. Check out the spock ears on mine. :)

Happy and Spooky.

As soon as we lit the candles Evan started singing happy birthday at the top of his lungs. Not sure what our neighbors thought. The first time he sang more of the song. This video he only did the first part.

The camera was balanced on the rail for this one, so there was no way Evan was going to stare at the camera until the self timer went off. Oh well, he's just checking out our pumpkins.
