Don’t Let the Pigeon Carve the Pumpkin
It was an experiment. Stop judging me. Judge me instead on my other pumpkin.
I’ve been doing some version of a cat silhouetted against the moon for a few years now (and, whatever, I know that moon should be rounder), but this is my first VAMPIRE kitty—a nod, naturally, to the current vampire craze in pop culture. It is not the only pop culture reference currently in my yard.
Children dressed as Star Wars characters get extra candy when they come to my house. Tonight, there was only one, a storm trooper. In the house, we had Harry Potter.
Well, let’s face it. He looks more like Voldemort there. There was also an EXTREMELY VERY, VERY SCARY DINOSAUR.
Okay, so don’t panic. That isn’t really a dinosaur. Halloween is just so CONFUSING.

Hmm... we had a couple of Star Wars characters come by our house... at least one Jedi, at least one Queen Amidala, maybe a couple others.
We had a very, very cute unicorn, which was my favorite costume of the night. :)

Oh, a unicorn does sound cute. :) We saw a little bee costume that I think is my favorite of the year. It had wings.

We had a juice box - complete with a straw! Very clever.

Someone must have made that costume. I'm not such a good costume-maker. It's one of those skills I hope to develop in my old age.

I feel like I'm going to have to try it again next year myself.
