We had a blast carving our pumpkin this year. Jacob helped clean out the seeds (one by one) and chose the shapes for the Jack-o-Lantern's face. We roasted the seeds and decorated outside together.
This year was looking iffy for costumes. Jacob screamed and cried at the sight of a Spiderman (What? He loves Spiderman!), a cute furry skunk, a cowboy, and an Indiana Jones costume. I was thinking that it was really going to be a trial to get him dressed up in anything until my neighbour let us use this adorable panda outfit. Jacob loved it, and it had a wonderful time collecting his goodies around the neighbourhood.
