cat o'lantern

I haven't done anything for Halloween since high school, but I still like the idea of it. Every year I like to think of the costume that I would never wear: this year is a sphynx cat (would have to wear all peach and somehow be wrinkly), last year was an Egyptian pyramid (would make a stiff tent dress painted with bricks and a little triangle hat on top). Someday I will just be the old person that stays home and passes out candy.

  3. you could be a sphinx cat and I'll be one of these: https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=naked+mole+rat&um=1&ie=UTF-8&hl=en&tbm=isch&source=og&sa=N&tab=wi&ei=y7mSUJX7JK-q0AXXkYDoBQ&biw=1153&bih=640&sei=zbmSUMK2KMLH0QWOtoHwDg

    our costumes would basically be the same except you'd have ears and I'd have teeth

    1. Great idea, I love those things. Our zoo put in a naked mole rat when I was little & it was the highlight of every zoo trip for the next 5-7 years of my life. They lived behind plexiglass so you could see their underground tunnels. We'll do this next year for sure.

  4. I absolutely love your cat o' lantern! (p.s. I was the old woman who stayed home and passed out candy this year, haha.)
