Pumpkin Party

To celebrate Halloween with our tutors, we had a pumpkin decorating party.  Not necessarily a pumpkin carving party because Chinese pumpkins are small and difficult to cut into, but more a

"paint a pumpkin" party.

Me and my tutor with our pumpkin before the paint

I told my tutor about all sorts of things associated with Halloween (spiders, bats, ghosts, black cats, candy, trick-or-treating, witches, etc.) and we took turns painting images on the little pumpkin.

The people who were determined to carve into those little pumpkins

Shaunda and her tutor were bunnies

 

Chip and Bumann, in my opinion, don't look that much alike, but tutors here get them confused all the time.  So they dressed up as each for Halloween by name-tagging themselves with the other's name.  The tutors thought it was hilarious.  When Chip and I announced our pregnancy, one of the tutors congratulated Bumann on being a father.

Erica is nerd, Lauren is a deviled egg, and Chip painted a jack-o-lantern on my belly for baby's first Halloween costume.
