gershwin, ezekiel, and a cupcake.

I painted pumpkins yesterday evening! I don't like carving them, that's just icky. Last year was a little tragic in the painting department. I didn't have a clear vision and my pumpkin sucked and everyone else had totally awesome ones. There was Harry Potter, Lady Gaga and a panda. Mine was just a pumpkin with pink hair and what appeared to be olives for eyes:

I was devastated with my poor performance, so this put a lot of pressure to do better than last year, but also didn't set the bar too high, because anything would be an improvement.

Andrew was super jazzed to be painting pumpkins!!!! He painted Gerswhin, the monkey, who comes with a banana in his favorite ear! I love my peacock pumpkin! It turned out so goooood. If you disagree with this I don't want to hear about it because I'm proud of myself and that's all that matters. His name is Ezekiel, Zeke if you're his friend. We listened to Pandora's "Halloween Party Mix" while painting them. They had some rad 1950's halloween jamz for inspiration. I'm off to work on my Katy Perry halloween costume!

Tootles!
